Inside the Real West Wing (Lincoln bedroom FOR SALE!)

Meanwhile, Over in the East Wing

Sharon Theimer of the Associated Press reports: "President Bush opened the White House and Camp David to dozens of overnight guests last year, including foreign dignitaries, family friends and at least nine of his biggest campaign fund-raisers, documents show. . . .

"Some guests spent a night in the Lincoln Bedroom, 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. . . .

"Bush's overnight guest roster is virtually free of celebrities -- pro golfer Ben Crenshaw is the biggest name -- but not of campaign supporters."

Republican Rep. Rick Lazio's campaign has accused Mrs. Clinton of a "blatant abuse of power" by having donors spend the night.

"History is again repeating itself and has reached a new low," Lazio campaign manager Bill Dal Col said last week. "The use of the Lincoln Bedroom and Camp David as accommodations for campaign 'supporters' is nothing less than a taxpayer funded abuse of power, and is yet another example of why New Yorkers can't trust Hillary Clinton."

The Clinton administration was criticized after the 1996 campaign for inviting big donors to spend the night. Republicans in Congress, along with some less partisan critics, complained that the practice dulled the majesty of the White House.

Now let's see if anyone in the wrong wing accuses pResident Bush of "dulling the majesty of the White House" or of "taxpayer funded abuse of power"

I'd like to hear some fresh commentary from Mr. Lazio now.

...at the convenience store he works at now? If so, maybe he can comment on this... :D

It would be interesting to hear his offices response.

any more after Bush moved in.

But, but Bush attacked Clinton for allowing just that! Don't tell me Bush is a hypocrite, can't be!
