Thank you Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and Barney Frank!

Unfortunately for the Bushes, Rice and other recipients, they won't be able to enjoy the gifts as they have been turned over to the General Services Administration and government archives in accordance with federal law, which bars officials from accepting personal presents in almost all circumstances.

Looks like it going to 'bailout' the exec bonuses. This story is getting lots of play, Rachael Maddow, newspapers, etc - I dont listen to the other talking heads but I imagine there too.

No, the 'elite' are the American royal family of Bush and Cheney and their CEO buds. Maybe 'ignorant and mis-informed' democrats Ill buy, but no more than the republicans - both aisles are stupid.
