[Stephanie]

Looks like another Katrina weekend for George. He'll be partying while his administration burns to the ground. He's going to raise $1 million tonight from 100 couples, at a dinner at a private residence in Beverly Hills. Tasteful!

7. There's a hurricane brewing

He's just following SOP.

8. He really doesn't look at all happy.

Have you ever noticed that when he waves to the media, it always looks like he's shooing them away? It's always a hurried, dismissive gesture.

10. 1,000,000/100=10,000

and that is per invited couple so it would really be 5,000 dollars each.

But, seriously, what is he thinking?

[Stephanie]

13. The L.A. Times link I just added said $25,000 at the door.

But some of the partiers are such fatcats they're not paying tonight, they've already given so much.

But yeah, my math was bad. Edited.

11. Just heard this on CNN....Ahhhhnold will not be there: "Conspicuously..."
