Bush wasted millions on ranch trips

Why do I get the feeling we're going to keep finding scandals like this for years to come?

Or maybe not, since the media doesn't like printing anything that might cast a negative light on their precious little George.

A newly discovered report says that Bush traveled to his Texas ranch 77 times during his 8-year reign. These trips cost the taxpayers a minimum of $226,072 - each.

Multiply that by 77, and it works out to $17,407,544. And that's if each trip cost only as much as the cheapest one.

How does a single trip within the country cost over $200,000 anyway? I'm sure that even the Cincinnati Tea Party terrorists don't rack up such a bill when they lodge at the Westin.

And get this: This figure includes only the cost of flying the plane to and from the ranch! Does Air Force One use $500-a-bottle champagne as fuel?

Bush also visited Camp David 149 times in only 8 miserable years.

You still hear about Bill Clinton's $40 haircut from 15 years ago, but Bush wasted millions just to rest at his ranch or Camp David 30 times a year?

Stick to Google Street View, George.
