No . . . not the Paris Hilton “leaked” porn video, which launched her TV career.
I was referring to the $580,000 tab for the night Biden spent in a Parisian Hotel, on his way to London. The tab for London was another $400,000 or so. Let’s just call it an even million for simplicities sake. But it does seem that London is less expensive, doesn’t it?
Some wags will point out that this bill includes the secret service. Well – that’s my point entirely. And stop picking on them. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO EVIDENCE THAT HOOKERS WERE INVOLVED THIS TIME.
Drudge of course is pairing this article with a complaint that the air force academy is being denied (due to sequestration) their traditional super exciting July 4[SUP]th[/SUP] fireworks party. I’m unsympathetic. Perhaps they can go to a local community fireworks display instead, and eat dollar hot dogs and dollar sodas (none larger than 16 ounces though) provided to raise funds for the local first responders? Just a thought.
But back to Paris. I’ve never been there. Been to London though. And I was in the actual restaurant, at the actual next table to Yoko Ono and her son Julian !!! For real. This was several years ago, and it was some sort of Middle East restaurant. My hotel didn’t cost $400,000 but it was pretty nice. Better than what you’d get for the same price in Baltimore. The hookers are probably more expensive in London, though.
Look, stop picking on Biden, and his half million dollar hotel bills, okay?
If you want to pick on him for something, how about the $37 million dollar paint and bathroom remodeling job he forced on us for the Wilmington Delaware train station. It wasn’t made any larger, or safer. Just a spruce up, like you see on “flip that house and/or train station”. $37 million dollars. And then they named it after him – the Biden Train Station – because you know he uses it every Monday morning and Friday Evening to commute back and forth between DC and his Delaware mansion (which he bought from a well connected banker, for millions of dollars).
You can buy a lot of Parisian Soirees – with or without hookers – for $37 million.
I’m just glad none of this money went to fireworks.
Full disclosure – this writer has actually visited the Biden Train Station, and it’s “very nice”. No homeless people living in the stairwells and relieving themselves there, like in so many other urban train stations. Maybe Biden should visit them, so they can be improved too, eh? But not if it costs $37 million each. We’re in a sequester, after all, and besides shouldn’t this be a local responsibility? If the federal government picks up the tab THIS time for mopping up the urine and repainting, then people in every city will come to expect them to do it EVERY time, won’t they? And that’ll just drain funds away from all the things we already can’t afford.
