America's taxpayers, already on the hook for watching over the Occupy movement's three-month seizure of Washington's downtown McPherson Square, are getting stuck with another bill to cover the police protection and port-a-potty rentals at today's Capitol protest.
For today's protest, where several hundred Occupiers toting signs lingered in the muddy grass of the Capitol Grounds, over two dozen U.S. Capitol Police were assigned to ring the lawn, most on foot, some on bikes, and others in 18 cars, buses, and trucks counted by Whispers.
Plus, the government rented 17 bright blue potties from Don's Johns, which were parked across from the Capitol Grounds and in the shadow of the Ulysses S. Grant Memorial.
The Architect of the Capitol's office wouldn't comment on the costs or protection.
But Don's Johns told Whispers that renting 17 potties costs about $2,100.

Just more of the Obama/Soros scum.
And when TEA Party or PromiseKeepers or any other group pulls a permit, who pays for the portajohns?
They have no money, no job, no responsibility, no intelligence and no free will.
They are pathetic Obama supporters who have been ordered to show up at a given time and do so because they hope they will get something free.
My wife and I were in DC for the Obamacare tea party protest.
No porta potties.
Also, the water fountains were turned off (it was fairly hot out).
Compare and contrast.
“I can’t believe we’re paying for this. But they have no money.”
Bull.
I read the other day they have a financial adviser now, and a $100k bail fund.
Yes: I was there also, but you have to remember that these are not tea party people. If these people get the urge they will drop their pants and crap on the sidewalk, or the nearest police car.
We are not talking about law-abiding grown ups here .
