The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

I knew all the money was goping to the charitable foundation, but was unaware of the discount rate of 60K. What a bargain!

Still, it does remain that tickets didn't sell even at the lower price. And like I said, having an ego is a prerequisate of being a politician.

Remember- the government is calling on private organizations to fund charities these days. He's only doing his part. If this was a fundraiser for GW and the Republican party, I doubt you would have said anything*. (But I would, of course).

*I would have used a more direct comparison, such as a fundraiser by GW for a charity, but I'm not sure he does that sort of thing.

Oh, I'm sure some of those GOP candidates he's been stumping for are *ahem* charity cases.
