Current SOTH is sure concerned about all that 'nonessential spending'...

[Hoss]

Not...

Really?  Sending a senior staff member on the taxpayer dime to a 'protocol class'.

Wow.

And yes, I do realize this was done before he was sworn in as SOTH.  The mid-terms had been decided, so I'm sure he knew where he was headed.

I get your point and the relevance, but how about all the bureaus and agencies who are spending bucket loads of $$ at this school.  That's how it exists in the first place.  Over $1000 per day?  Really?

I guess if it keeps you from giving an iPod with rap and hip hop to the wrong dignitary, or bowing to inferior world leaders, that's probably worth it.

The point is the hypocrisy..in my eyes.

I guess I was just feeling left out, as the resident AW hadn't posted anything negative toward the libs in less than a day.  Thought I'd try to sneak one in to level it out.

$5800 is nothing when this same guy wants to spend $160 billion on a war of lies started to avenge Daddy's embarrassment.  Or a few extra tens of billions for a 'spare' fighter jet engine made by buddies.

No hypocrisy, Hoss, just Republicanism as usual.
