I think that if the "wide stance" were to become popular, we'd have to get used to seeing Democrat brains in the public crappers since they would often fall out. Public bathrooms are already bad enough whithout having to deal with an added mess, so I guess I'm against it... Dan wonders: “What is your stance on the wide stance?”

The official recalled a trip that former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.), former Sen. Mike DeWine (R-Ohio) and Sen. Norm Coleman (R-Minn.) took a few years ago to Pakistan. "When the senators went to Kabul on a military plane, the three spouses of Frist, DeWine and Coleman had a separate C-120 take them to Bahrain to take a windshield tour of the city and to shop," the official said.

Purple BLOG DOG: I don't want to meet with them. You misread my comment. They (the state rep's office) are refusing to give me times they met with individuals (union reps). And seriously, stop coming at me with this partisan crap. Just because I endorse Obama for the democratic primary means nothing. I endorsed Ron Paul for the republican primary. SHEEESH GOPGAL: I don’t care what political party it is.

Yes it wasteful, but you are just plain ignorant and not a very informed observer of politics if you are not aware that even if the president couples an official event in with a political event that the candidate/party/organization has to foot a huge chunk of the bill for the presidents travel and security. If I remember correctly, when he came for Bachmann last year, her campaign had to pay something like $40,000, and that was with an official event. Minneapolitics:

I bet we spent at least $50k just getting Bush to Norm's fundraiser. Again, the system treats taxpayers like an external entity. Our tax dollars go explicitly to Coleman's reelection fund.
