And For Five Thousand Bucks More, You Can Get Your Picture Taken Without Me In It

And the market speaks

Gas prices may be up, but there's something that's apparently a little cheaper these days: A photo with President Bush. Yesterday, Bush headlined a fundraiser for the New Jersey state GOP, where donors could pay $5,000 to pose for a photo with the Commander in Chief. Expensive photo op, right? Well, that's actually cheaper that what donors paid just a year ago for a grip and grin with Bush. Last summer, GOP officials around the country charged at least $10,000 a pop for presidential photo op, a bargain compared to the $25,000-a-flash Bush commanded during some Republican National Committee fund-raisers back in 2000 and 2004.

$5k per picture huh? Here's a better idea: Give him a box of fat crayons and have him draw a picture of himself and his admirers. Then take the $5k per photo that people were going to pay and donate it to the Hurricane Katrina fund so the displaced folks in New Orleans can try to get their lives back in order. I know, I'm an angry Bush cynic, but there are many more......

Here here Mike.!!!! Just one of many good possiblities that President Numb Nuts could start fixing what he has ruined. I also like the idea of Seizing his families assaets, or maybe just the difference in net worth between now and when he became President.
