What the cost of Bush's inaugural would pay for
Posted by Jill | 10:50 AM

Via "garfield" at Kos, here's what the $40 million cost of Bush's Thou Shalt Kneel Before Me Extravaganza would pay for:


According to my rough calculations, for $40 million dollars, we could be buying in between 160-222 newly armored Humvees for our soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan and not even all of Rupert Murdock's new Apartment in New York, priced at $44 million.

For each $250K ticket sold to celebrate the event we could buy one of the most expensive armored Humvees.

At $849.00 apiece, we could be buying 47,114 different sets of Level IIIA Ballistic Steel, Ceramic or Polyethylene Body Armor to protect the troops.

For $200 apiece, you could buy a care package for 200K troops deployed overseas that included DVDs, magazines, cigarettes, cigars, letters from home, and some taped ACC basketball games.


All of you who think Democrats are elitists, please note that at this time of war, Captain Codpiece is throwing a party for himself, paid for with corporate lobbyist money, that's the most expensive inauguration in history.

It's good to be da king.
