The NY Daily News reports that, at Dick Cheney’s request, President Obama has extended his Secret Service detail for another six months:
WASHINGTON – Former Vice President Dick Cheney’s Secret Service protection has been extended for at least another six months, beginning Tuesday.
Normally, ex-veeps only get six months of protection at taxpayer expense. But Cheney asked for an extension, and President Obama – whom Cheney has excoriated in several interviews since leaving office – recently signed off.
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano signed the order extending Cheney’s security detail, her spokeswoman Sara Kuban confirmed Monday.
If the Obama administration hadn’t gone along with Cheney’s request, he would have been forced to hire his own security agents – or go without.
Cheney’s friends have said he has become more concerned about his privacy and personal safety in recent years.

Cheney should probably have a concealed-carry permit, too. Luckily, he’s from Wyoming.
His Hollowness is simply waiting until it’s politically safe to club Sir Richard, in the manner hunters do to seal pups. That way the political fallout will be minimal and he’ll have laid the groundwork to blame some useless minion.
Hmmm. I guess he could always lug a shotgun around with him. What are the chances he could mistaken liberals for quail?
Just asking.
