I wonder how much that trip cost us?

[Patchuli]

14. Well if it's fundraising for the GOP

then it ought to be paid for by the RNC!

[acmejack]

From the moonie Times via wonkette.

[Patchuli]

21. I wish taxpayers could

clip his worthless wings and limit trips to state business.

[MissWaverly]

1000 dollars a plate.10000 if you want a picture.

[Bluebear]

[NV Whino]

12. Maybe they can teach the ape how to pour piss out of his boot!

[eppur_se_muova]

23. Not if the instructions were printed on the heel.

(stolen from LBJ, of course)

[Beaverhausen]

15. You'd think he'd be able to slip in time for a deal soldier's funeral

Wouldn't you?

[Patchuli]

16. His excuse for not attending soldiers' funerals

is that if he went to one, he'd have to go to them all...

The real reason is he doesn't give a shit.

[onethatcares]

20. if he had to go to them all

he might finally make a connection between being unpopular and the reason why.
this poor excuse for a human being has never, ever, had to face a day or moment in his life that wasn't taken care of.

[eppur_se_muova]

24. If he goes to one shoe bank, does he have to go to him all?

And that baseball game he went to ... that's just asking for trouble. Do you have any idea how many baseball teams there are?

[Patchuli]

25. Good one!

:evilgrin:

[mcscajun]

17. Don't know why they call it a shoe bank, but it's a shoe Shop by

any name.

Allen-Edmonds shoes, known as the preferred shoe of American presidents, are hand-crafted in the U.S. and sold throughout the world.
www.allenedmonds.com

Amazing...something is still made here. Of Course, NOBODY I know can afford hand-crafted shoes.
