How Much Did It Cost?

Has anyone figured out how much we paid for Dick Cheney's little toodle loo?

Alert reader Begonia Buzzkill had this to say:

I was wondering these last four/five days if the taxpayers realized that we footed the entire party . . flying in from around the world . .Switzerland, DC, etc

The Secret Service, the staff, the flight costs, are ALL ON US ....

Wonder if there will be any money left over to put a drinking fountain in my daughter's high school...a couple books for her classes would come in handy too!

What Begonia probably didn't realize at the time is that we are also paying the tab for Dick's little friend Pamela Willeford.

Pamela Willeford is on our payroll in a nice cushy job as the Ambassadress to Switzerland, it's not like she's the Democracy Czar or anything, but it's nice work if you can get it!
