One of Dr. Dean's famous promise is to buy Mr. Bush a one-way bus ticket back to Crawford, TX.
But according to this [New York Times article

71&ei=5062&partner=GOOGLE], there is no such one-way ticket, and the price of a bus ticket is higher than the orginal $100 Dr. Dean usually refers to.
There are three options if Dr. Dean gets his wish and sends the president ridin' the dog to Waco. Mr. Bush could leave at 1:50 a.m. and arrive the next afternoon at 2:50, making 29 stops but only one transfer. Or take the 9:30 a.m. bus, cutting the trip by three hours and 45 minutes but requiring three transfers - which would complicate work for his Secret Service busmates. Or leave at 11 p.m. on the shortest route, although it includes two overnights, landing in Waco - remember, he still needs a ride to the ranch - at 7:30 a.m., two days after leaving Washington.
The cost is not, as Dr. Dean might seem to suggest, getting two million people to donate $100 each to his campaign, but just $145 ($79 with seven-day advance).
What's your suggestion? Would you rather pay more for his ticket than let him stay for another four years?
