Bush's Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne approved it. The Interior Sec. is the one that gets so much money from congress, then decides how it's spent on federal property. Yep, been going on for decades.

Don't know the answer, I highly doubt Bush knew of every dime his Int. Sec. spent or what it was for. However, Bush did put him there. Saw another report that said this was just the tip of wasted money under this Sec., but I imagine it's been the same with most.

I agree, but that's true of every president. I just find it odd when people use something like this to blame the president. It happens to every president, and there's always someone who wants to blame him for something he didn't even know about.

The article doesn't imply that Bush knew, but that he was appointed by Bush. I'm sure this is a small expense overall, but just another example how government officials will spend our tax dollars why Americans suffer.

You're right, the article only mentions that he was Bush's secretary. It was the way the caption under the picture was worded that got me going.

I'd be willing to pay more taxes if we could make DC into a giant toilet bowl, and then flush it!
