ABC News reports:
The personal bathroom used by the secretary of the Interior is so swanky that its renovation cost $222,000. No detail was overlooked: It has a $3,500 sub-zero refrigerator (hey, if you’re going to have a fridge in the bathroom, it might as well be a good one) and a $689 faucet. At least the “vintage tissue holder” was cheap: just $65 bucks.
The renovation was done in 2007 under President George W. Bush’s Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne, but is only now coming to light, thanks to the dogged reporting by ABC News Atlanta affiliate WSB-TV, which first filed a Freedom of Information Act request on the renovation four years ago.
Ha! "holy shit"
ReplyDeleteNicely done Wenzel.
These people sure live well at the taxpayer expense...
ReplyDeleteOh, the potential jokes about this just flow too easily.
ReplyDeleteWell, if you're full of shit, you better have a nice bathroom.
ReplyDeleteJeezuz, Wenzel, that's the second potty joke in one day!!
ReplyDeleteHate to be a party pooper, but this is startin' to piss me off!!
Potty humor. I like it.
DeleteDon't be too quick to criticize, folks. My sources tell me this selfless public servant thought he'd been appointed Secretary of Interior Design.
ReplyDeleteWhat the ever-loving goddam fuck does the "Secretary of the Interior" even do anyway? More to the point: Why aren't people of this ilk wearing tar and feathers instead?
ReplyDeletePeople are bad. So we need a government ... made up of people.
DeleteFrom the photos, the government got reamed.
ReplyDeleteThat light fixture can be picked up at Home Depot for $17.95.
Good design doesn't need to cost a lot of money.
But you can sure spend a a lot on crap.
