Bush's $40 million mistake

Ha! It's about time somebody called Bush out publically on his disgustingly EXPENSIVE, 10 PARTY celebration of his inauguration! Watch this widely circulated clip of how A Fox News anchor flips out when a guest dares to question the nature of Bush's elaborate 2nd inauguration.

The Fox news anchor totally went ballistic when her guest commentator, an editor at Vanity Fair, ended up stating her disgust at the excesses. She must have been expecting Vanity Fair woman to stick to commenting on how pretty Laura Bush looked in her Oscar de la Renta gown, or how sweet the inauguration dance was between the Bushes. Bleaaaaaaaah.

Does the man have no sense of propriety or simple Christian decency? $40 million bucks on self-congratulatory excess in a time where Asia is recovering from the tsunamis and America's own troops are badly floundering from lack of proper equipment? Forgoing the $40million party for a simpler affair would have been a grand, dignified and very Christian gesture to make. How about a $10 million party and $30 million donation to his own country's poor and unemployed for starters? Or funding the welfare of his beleagured troops...

Ugh. Why oh why must the most high profile Christian leader in the world today be a complete muck-up? Grrrr.

For added reading pleasure,

article 2: One American soldier's story sheds light on the Iraq quagmire:
"People are always coming up and thanking me for my service," he says. "It makes me angry. We're not doing anything over there except sitting around waiting to get shot."
