$500 Billion On Iraq War And All I Got Was This Lousy "24" TV Show Director Chair


Bush and Cheney continue on with their War for Oil Profits:


President Bush's financial fortunes appear to have
declined over the past seven years, with his family assets dropping as low as
$6.5 million, according to disclosure forms released yesterday.


Bush and his wife, Laura, were worth at least $9 million and as much
as $24 million at the start of his term. The Bushes could still be worth as much
as $20 million now, according to the financial documents filed with the
Office of Government Ethics, which requires assets to
be reported only within broad ranges.


Vice President Cheney and his wife, Lynne, have fared
better, reporting assets of at least $21 million and as much as $99 million, the
forms show. The Cheneys are at least as wealthy as they were when the vice
president entered office, and may have added as much as $29 million to their net
worth during his tenure.


President Bush's biggest asset is a
1,600-acre family ranch near Crawford, Tex., which is listed as being worth
between $1 million and $5 million. Most of the Bush family holdings are in real
estate and a blind trust.


Last year, Bush reported assets of a
minimum of $7.5 million.


The forms show that Bush and Cheney
both received a variety of gifts last year, mostly related to outdoor
activities. Among the gifts Bush kept were a $6,160 bicycle given to him by a
Wisconsin bike manufacturer, custom Hawaiian shirts and fly-fishing
equipment.


Cheney received a two-day vacation and a book on
duck calls from the Greenbriar Lodge of Carlisle, Ark., valued at $1,600. He
also received an $801 gift package from the Fox television show "24," including
director's chairs, coffee mugs and DVDs.


The annual financial
disclosure forms filed with the ethics office report assets and income figures
in wide categories, making it impossible to determine exact figures on wealth.
Tax forms released last month, however, showed 2007 income of $924,000 for the
Bushes and $3 million for the Cheneys.

Oh sure, I make a joke out of it, but can you imagine how much that Director's Chair will fetch on Ebay in about twenty years from now?
