IOKIYAR: Surprise! Bush rewards campaign contributors with Lincoln bedroom sleepovers 

My goodness! Remember the SCLM flap about this one under Clinton? It went on for week! Good to see the media all over this one. Oh, wait ....

Some guests spent a night in the Lincoln Bedroom [during President Clinton's term of office], historic quarters that gained new fame in the Clinton administration amid allegations that Democrats rewarded major donors like Hollywood heavyweights Steven Spielberg and Barbra Streisand with accommodations there.

That scandal and Bush's criticism of it is one of the reasons the White House identifies guests. In a debate with Vice President Al Gore in October 2000, Bush said: "I believe they've moved that sign, `The buck stops here,' from the Oval Office desk to `The buck stops here' on the Lincoln Bedroom. And that's not good for the country."

That's rich, Bush accusing others of not taking responsibility. Classic winger projection, eh?

At least nine of Bush's biggest fund-raisers appear on the latest list of White House overnight guests, covering June 2002 through December 2003, and-or on the Camp David list, which covers last year. They include:

IOKIYAR!

"The Buck Stops Here" has been changed by official fiat. The new iteration is "The Bucks Stop Here."
