Price of photo-op with Bush keeps dropping.
“Gas prices may be up, but there’s something that’s apparently a little cheaper these days: A photo with President Bush.”
Bush headlined a fundraiser for the New Jersey state GOP, where donors could pay $5,000 to pose for a photo with the Commander in Chief. Expensive photo op, right? Well, that’s actually cheaper that what donors paid just a year ago for a grip and grin with Bush. Last summer, GOP officials around the country charged at least $10,000 a pop for presidential photo op, a bargain compared to the $25,000-a-flash Bush commanded during some Republican National Committee fund-raisers back in 2000 and 2004.”

I wouldn’t pay a nickle to take his photo…
June 4th, 2007 at 10:59 amYou couldn’t pay me to be captured on the same piece of film as Chimpy (unless, of course, he was in the stocks, and I was in the act of hurling a nice rotten tomato… ^_^ ).
June 4th, 2007 at 11:05 am$5000 to charity to see a photo of the Chimp doing a perp walk.
June 4th, 2007 at 11:06 amI would not pay one penny to stand next to Bush for a pic. Keep that creep away from me. I bet he has a bad smell too, like Cheney > lol.
June 4th, 2007 at 11:06 amDoes that vampire show up on film?

June 4th, 2007 at 11:09 amThe day will come when George will pay me to stand next to him for a photo.
June 4th, 2007 at 11:10 am…and I’m not cheap.
As the the bully Nelson Munst would say on the Simpsons
June 4th, 2007 at 11:12 amHA! HA!
This says it better than almost anything else you could think of. Talk about a brand name losing value. BuschCo – the Big Lots of national politics.
June 4th, 2007 at 11:13 amBush should have to pay people to stand next to him for pics. He pays people for his photo-ops, like the woman and her daughter at the phony food station, after hurricane Katrina.

June 4th, 2007 at 11:14 amLast time he was in South Dakota (which was to promote John Thune, who wound up unseating our Sen. Daschle) he was at the Sioux Falls Arena. In the same building was the Lion’s Pancake Feed.
We still find we made the right choice of where to be…. and boy were those pancakes tasty.

June 4th, 2007 at 11:17 am$5,000 to get a photo shot standing with Bush??? You gotta be Kidding! What I would pay with that five grand is standing next to Bush–in his prison stripped pajamas–at the nearest federal pen. Otherwise, that money is best use in a photo shot with ACLU’s Anthony D. Romero.
June 4th, 2007 at 11:19 amI would pay for a photo of me slamming Chimpy’s cell door shut at Guantanamo.
June 4th, 2007 at 11:26 amThe Bush-GOP Scandal Documents Center has been expanded to include the latest news, key reports, document releases and other essential materials surrounding Bush administration and GOP wrong-doing. From the U.S. attorneys purge, Plamegate, and illegal NSA domestic surveillance to Iraq intelligence manipulation, torture scandals and the ongoing Jack Abramoff fall-out, it’s all there:
June 4th, 2007 at 11:29 am“The Bush-GOP Scandal Documents Center.”
Can I wear my “I’m with Stupid” t-shirt??
June 4th, 2007 at 11:30 amA little steep, but personally I think that it would be fun to take a picture with the worst President in the history of the country. Just as a joke.
Hmmm… maybe if it got down to a couple of grand.
LOL!
June 4th, 2007 at 11:31 ameven mickey mouse at disneyland runs a mile rather than have his picture with butcher Bush
June 4th, 2007 at 11:32 amI would love to be photographed with Bush, provided he is wearing an orange jump suit and shackles.
June 4th, 2007 at 11:32 amCan I wear my “I’m with Stupid†t-shirt??
Comment by Oversight is a Bitch.
That’s pretty funny.
June 4th, 2007 at 11:33 amI LOVE! comment #15!
June 4th, 2007 at 11:33 amRNC laying off all its phone solicitors en masse, Bush photo ops price down 80% in 3 yrs, mass resignations every week, sub poenaes flying around in the air like snow flakes… this ship just isn’t sinking, it’s going straight to the bottom in record time.
It’s imploding like a black hole. Let’s just hope it doesn’t suck the entire country in w/ it.
June 4th, 2007 at 11:33 amIf the price dropped to five cents, I might spring for a side by side photo of Chimpy standing next to Alfred E. Neuman, and then hold a contest to see how many people can correctly identify which one is which. Hint: Alfred E. Neuman will be the smarter looking one.
June 4th, 2007 at 11:36 amI’d pay a nickel, but only if I could wear one of those “I’m with stupid” T-shirts.
June 4th, 2007 at 12:02 pmSoon they’ll be paying people to pose with Dumbya.
Priceless.
June 4th, 2007 at 12:23 pmI have nearly nothing good to say about this president or administration.
That having been said, this is an incredibly spurious point – he’s winding down, on his way to being (if not already) a lame duck.
This isn’t to be expected?
June 4th, 2007 at 1:29 pmI’d charge this jackass to take a picture me.
June 4th, 2007 at 2:00 pmSoon we will hear of his minions calling ahead and bribing people to pose for photo ops with the chimp in chief.
June 4th, 2007 at 5:36 pmcheney’s price must be too high for chimpy as well – haven’t seen those two ass clowns snapped together for a long time
June 4th, 2007 at 6:12 pmI would not pose with that mealy-mouthed motherf*cking bastard if they paid ME $10,000.
