"Bush Cheney Alumni Event" fundraiser in D.C. 10/29 -- W to be main attraction!

http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/george-w.-bush-returning-to-d.c.-for-jeb-fundraiser/article/2574640?custom_click=rss


When President George W. Bush returns to Washington, D.C., later this month, he will be the main attraction at a fundraiser for his little brother's presidential campaign.

George Bush will head to the nation's capitol for a "Bush-Cheney alumni event" on October 29 before appearing at an event for Jeb Bush later in the evening. One day after the former Florida governor appears on the presidential debate stage in Boulder, Colorado, the former president will look to rake in the big bucks alongside former White House chiefs of staff Andy Card and Josh Bolten.

An invitation obtained by the Washington Examiner shows a $2,700 sticker price to attend the fundraiser at the home of Paul Horvath. Horvath, the CEO of Orchard Global Capital, helped to "grow the nascent credit derivatives market" while at J.P. Morgan from 1999 to 2005 before the Great Recession began.

to hope that the building is swallowed by the earth, never to be seen again, and that there are no survivors?

I thought something similar, and then remembered the SS protection.

Just think of all the war criminals likely to be there!

as The LATE Dick Cheney. He has done enough damage for 1 lifetime, then took a heart that someone else may have actually "used".
