I just heard a little earlier on one of the news programs that the Interior Secretary's office bathroom is going to get a $200K + renovation. WHAT?!?! Its a BATHROOM! How in the heck can it possibly cost that much to remodel a bathroom?!? My WHOLE HOUSE doesn't even cost that much!!!

Maybe the government is going to have to give themselves a government bailout.

Jeez... I sure hope so. Must be nice to sit upon the golden throne! I think the actual figure was something like $234,000 - $238,000. FOR A SINGLE BATHROOM. Does it have a freaking golf course in it??

It's not even like this guy is in charge of our money. He is essentially the big daddy of all Park Rangers. Not that this is not an important job, but REALLY? That job requires an almost a quarter of a million dollar sh!tter? In order to get to this guy in the order of succession, one would have to knock off the President, Vice President, Speaker of the House, President Pro Tem of the Senate, Secretary of State, Secretary of Treasury, Secretary of Defense, AND the Attorney General. How the heck much are they gonna give Hillary for her executive powder room?!?

Okay, so I Googled this because to me it is SOOO astounding. It is the outgoing Secretary of Interior Dick Kempthorne. He spent $235,000 of your and my tax dollars for a bathroom. Apparently the ammenities include a new shower, a refrigerator, a freezer, and monogrammed towels. That means at the least, the new guy needs new towels.

These people are so out of touch with the "common people" that they claim to represent.

I read another report on this... apparently he was decent enough to come in $26,000 UNDER his allowable budget for updating his privy. We can all rest assured that he will not be tempted to eat the lead paint chips... because the lead paint was removed... and replaced with panneling that matches his office. blankstare.gif

Schizzle... I could fully redo the 2.5 bathrooms in my house and not come near spending the $26,000 he DIDN'T spend.

Same here. You think we could get that $26k he didn't spend? We could split it.

Maybe. Does it coordinate nicely with the remainder of the bathroom?

I'm thinking we could spring for your shower curtain and maybe a new set of rugs... and towels... and still not break the bank.

Of course... Compared to most of the politicians on the news, I got NO bones in my closet, so I might could get elected.
