What do you make of that?
From Clinton's China trip, do you remember Clinton mugging over the terra cotta warriors of Xi'an?: "Afterward, Clinton and Chelsea bought a warrior head from the museum gift shop after a bit of hard bargaining that brought the price down from about $225 to $45. The president's chief of staff, Erskine Bowles, did the first family one better, buying a full-size replica of a Terracotta Warrior for $1,100. No word on how well his bargaining went."
(and no word either on how many other trinkets filled the presidential planes....avoiding shipping costs.)
Erskine is a multi-millionaire, he can afford his own elite world travels, but maybe he became addicted to presidential perks? What a joke that his new title is UN deputy to Clinton! Does Poppy Bush have a deputy? Not that I know of.
