I would veture a guess that the AG could have done a much more controversial thing than hanging a drapery in front of the statues to protect himself from being the butt of a joke. 8k for a large amount of material is not as bad as 200 dollar toilet seats. He knew there would be a stink about it and is man enough to take the heat. Why should we contribute to it? What importance in the grand scheme of things does it have? What conclusions would a outsider to FR have, after viewing some of these posts? What good will be served by attempting to screw ourselves out of the 2004 and 2002 elections.
Every bullet we give the opposition can and will be used against us.

was going to point out to some on this thread about how easily the Democrat press seizes ANY opportunity to bash the Pubbies.
For instance, Bush was going to be bludgeoned with Enron no matter how he played it. If he bailed them out, he was on the take. If he didn't bail them out, he was screwing the little guy and his Enron 401K.
It's nice to own your own media conglomerate. :-)
