    >>‘Errata’ is the plural of ‘eratum’, which
    >>is an error in writing or printing.

    Not sure if you’re one a them thar dictionary guys, Poisson, but the term “errata” (and its singular,erratum) usually refers to a LIST of errors, rather than the actual errors themselves.

    Check out the security when a Presidential candidate comes to your city. All the overtime for those cops doesn’t come cheap. The helicopters add some serious coin to your tax bill as well. Don’t worry though: It could be for your own good, as well as theirs, who knows yet.

    Although, Kuzco wins hands down in the ball-suckers-flying-with-him Dept.

    I believe Bush has spinners on his lowrider limos where Bill and Hillary only had curb-feelers. You can’t see it from the graphic but all his support (secret service) vehicles are identified with fuzzy-dice and shag carpeting dashboards. Bill had another group of 12 nappy-headed-ho’s that he traveled with.

    This isn’t really about Dem/Rep, Bush/Clinton bashing…just a general note on HOW much money/effort it takes for the President to take a little vacation.

    If you want to raise a bitch, the point would be that sure Clinton & Bush both used the same level of ‘staff’ in travel…but Bush (and Republicans in general) CLAIM to always be for smaller less expensive government, so they SHOULD be using lesser/cheaper travel than the Democrats, otherwise they’ll just bs’ing. So much for their complaining about the costs of government. Funny, actually the number of Federal employees, overall spending doesn’t change whether you elect Democrats or Republicans. When our “lives” were at stake, Bush took 10s of thousands of private sector employees and made them government employees (TSA). So no matter what either party says, when the President leaves office (Democratic or Republican) the government’s budget will be bigger, and the number of Federal employees will be larger.

    You may be right, but at least 416 days from now, we can toss the current trash to the curb and replace him and his puppetmasters with someone who will use all that money and all those employees for something that is beneficial to someone other than Halliburton, Blackwater, and President Cheney’s Secret Energy Cabal.

    Don’t forget the fighter escort, the airborne refueling tankers, the AWACS, and the fleet of military cargo transports required to carry 40 armored vehicles and the helos.

    And it should be noted that the Clinton Administration racked up more air miles than any administration in history.

    It should also be noted that while Bush is a indisputable moron, any President should be escorted with this much security and the cost isn’t even worth discussing when compared to things that cost real money…

    …like the War in Iraq.

    If I am elected President, I *promise* to DRASTICALLY reduce my entourage to only ONE 747, a single stretch limo, and a staff of only sixteen (personally selected Playboy Playmates).

    ME FOR PRESIDENT!!!

    #23….DaveW…..sick little bitch aren’t you? You must be from one of those paradise countries that instead of elections just shoot their leaders when done.

    We have had some bad President’s in this country, but none that deserve to be killed…..and to make a reference like that show’s what a sorry little minded loser you are.

    But, that’s just my opinion. :)

    While you are correct and I don’t dispute that, damn you can take the fun out of fantasizing.

    Up until few years ago canadian prime minister didnt have any special guards (until he was attacked by some wacko in his home).
    But then Canada is not the country that rule the world (or try to) ;-)
    The bigger you are the more enemies you have.
    Kennedy had quite few guards and agents around him when he was shot, and those were the times when America had about billion less enemies than she has today.

    It is embarrassing to have an idiot president, but its even more embarassing to not being able to protect your own head of state and have him killed.
    Only idiot or true anti-american would want that.

    I don’t see the big deal: POTUS is the leader of the most important country on the planet and therefore the most important person on the planet and therefore needs constant protection.

    I want to own the President but can’t afford the security detail.

    If he is gay like me I could find the money somehow.

    Pathetic, isn’t it? Having an intellectual midget like the Chimp in Chief in a position like that?

    The End Times are coming……

    I don’t think this is a complete picture. He travels with a medical staff too.
