How sad.
The Pretelnit is off to Crawford to get photographed trimming some brush this weekend. On the way, he stopped to have dinner with 120 of his Virginia GOP pals ( AP registration required ). He raised $630,000 for the Virginia GOP from them, very nice. That's about $5,250 per person. I thought Bush would draw bigger numbers than that, even at this late stage of his crippled presidency.
The press ( as usual ) was not allowed to attend the event but the AP was able to tell us that this shindig was hosted by Rick and Sherry Sharp. Rick Sharp is the CEO of CarMax.com and "Crocs Inc., the maker of the popular rubber shoes".
It's a shame, I was considering buying a pair of Crocs for the beach this summer. I guess I'll have to find my used cars and casual footwear somewhere else.
