The market speaks

Yesterday, 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.
