Calgary, Alberta
George W. Bush gave his first speech since leaving office. It was in Alberta, Canada, where nearly 2,000 people paid $3,100 per table for “Conversation with George W. Bush.” If you figure there were ten guests per table, invitees were paying over $300 for dinner with the former President. I don’t know how much Bush was paid for the evening, but he joked that he would do more speeches to pay for his new house in Dallas.
“I actually paid for a house last fall. I think I’m the only American to have bought a house in the fall of 2008.“
That isn’t funny, George. A lot of Americans can’t afford to keep the house they have, let alone buy a new one. Take off!
