Hey, remember when this was bad?
I can remember getting a goddam headache from all the crying over 'selling the Lincoln Bedroom.' Good thing Bush took over and that sort of thing stopped. Umm, wait....
"President" Bush played host to dozens of overnight guests at the White House and Camp David last year, from world leaders to some of his most loyal supporters, including friends who double as campaign fund-raisers.Bush and first lady Laura Bush have invited at least 270 people to stay at the White House and at least the same number to overnight at the Camp David retreat since coming to Washington in January 2001, according to lists the White House provided The Associated Press.
Elton Bomer, a lobbyist, Bush donor and former Democratic lawmaker who served in then-Texas Gov. Bush's administration, said his stay in the White House living quarters was like visiting friends in a "a very nice home."
"The mattresses are very, very nice and the pillows are very nice," said Bomer, who visited in October 2002 with about 18 other Texans. "It's not ostentatious at all. There's no gilded gold leaf or anything like that."
Some Bush guests stayed in the Lincoln Bedroom, a historic room that gained fame in the Clinton administration amid allegations that Democrats were rewarding big donors such as Hollywood celebrities Steven Spielberg and Barbra Streisand with accommodations there. In all, the Clinton family invited at least 938 overnight guests to the White House in their first four years.

At this point, Bush might as well start getting blow jobs from interns.

No, Rlrr, Bush's vices don't revolve around sex. Rather they revolve around toxic substances.
While blowjobs from 21-year old interns are inexcusably appalling and sordid, they generally don’t lead to impairment of brain functions. Substance abuse, on the other hand, generally is not healthy for gray matter.

This is the most blatant example of "IOKIYAR" (It's OK If You Are Republican) that I've seen to date. These scumbags worked themselves into a lather every time you uttered the words "Lincoln bedroom."
Now they turn around and do it themselves. Words fail me...

You think your mad now?
Wait till you hear the words "Presidential Pardons", and who gets them.
Quit fighting over who will be the better President. Its like arguing over which manure is best for the lawn. Your still arguing about manure.
