40 million dollars

Let's see, you're a sitting president, already in office, and you really need $40 million dollars worth of "party time"?

(Times like this, I think things would be a LOT more interesting if the pre-born-again Bush was President. Forty mil would buy him and his buddies a ton--perhaps literally--of booze and coke, and with that much yayo floating around parties in D.C. I think a certain democratic leaning ex of mine would probably drop her political beliefs like a rock if she thought she could get some of that stuff free).

But ex-bitterness aside, things are clearly fucked up in this country when Dubya is spending more on a party than P. Diddy.
