Bush 'The King' Blows $50m on Coronation
This coming inauguration is costing $50 million so there can be more than 1o,ooo security personnel, anti-aircraft guns, etc.
Because really, a compassionate President needs a $50 million party instead of spending the money on things like increased aid to tsunami torn Asia or say armor for the troops he has in Iraq.
"Many observers say it is all too much. 'We have elected a President who seems to have quite a monarchical role. It is a bit of a coronation,' said Larry Haas, a former official in Bill Clinton's White House. "
I only hope they put a little honesty in and make sure the band plays "Hail to the King."

I want to mention that ONE of the reason Bushco. might be wanting DC to pick up MOST of the non corporate check- is because DC voted blue.
Yup- DC being a large metropolitian area voted democrat. All cities, even Houston, voted democrat. So W. et al is punishing DC for this by telling them to pay for the extra security.
And yes I do think that W. is that petty.
