Oh please! Can't you do better than this? LOL!
A state dinner honoring a visiting Foreign leader costs money, always has, always will, and this probably didn't cost nearly as much as some have, as if it matters! Sheesh!

I am not talking about the state dinner. I am talking about having the decency to let others who pay the bills know about a fireworks display that could have been enjoyed by many people.

Officials feared tens of thousands of residents and visitors would gather to watch the show if word leaked out, creating a "security concern" around the executive mansion.

Thats right no need to slow down the important people who came to the dinner with crowds of taxpayers who would have loved to see the whole entire thing.

By the way, our guy saves the money big time:

The Clinton China is set on tables in the State Dinning Room of the White House, Wednesday, Sept. 5, 2001, for the state dinner for Mexican President Vincente Fox. President Bush's culinary preferences are decidedly down-home: spicy meat steaming with the wood-soaked smoke of the fiery pit. But don't look for ribs and coleslaw when he gives his first state dinner Wednesday night: decorum trumps domestic, said the spokeswoman for the first lady, who is organizing the feast for Fox.

Well, now I understand the photo. There was a few invited democratics (that's how they want to be called). It must be a table for Daschle, Gephardt and AP reporter.
I hope their food was cold, beer warm, and they were led to a dark room during the fireworks.

Our guys, no doubt, had the Reagan China.

This matters. "Security concerns" from folks coming out to watch fireworks is silly.

Lousy treatment of John Q. Public and our tax money.

Dear Mr. GW Bush -- that money y'all used el noche pasado was our money. Not yours.
