Gasp! the press asks...Is the price tag too high for Bush's inauguration?

Wow!
"WASHINGTON - President Bush's second inauguration will cost tens of millions of dollars - $40 million alone in private donations for the balls, parade and other invitation-only parties.

With that kind of money, what could you buy?

-Two hundred armored Humvees with the best armor for troops in Iraq.

-Vaccinations and preventive health care for 22 million children in regions devastated by the tsunami"

I'm in shock! Maybe, just maybe, the Media will start behaving like journalists again...
:thumbsup:
