Joe Biden Charging US Secret Service Thousands To Rent Cottage To Protect Him
1st August 2011
Records show Mr Biden has collected more than $13,000 since April on the cottage in Greenville, a wealthy Wilmington suburb, and is eligible for up to $66,000 (£40,000) before the contract expires in 2013.
Asked if the US Secret Service typically pays rent to those it protects, agency spokesman Edwin Donovan told The Washington Times: “It’s a rental property so we pay rent there.”
Now: Imagine what the press reaction would have been had Cheney done that.

I think the Clinton’s had a similar deal, where the SS had to build a cottage on their property in NY and pay rent.

I theorize Biden started slinging around language like “terrorist” when he realized this was going public…and it worked.
