this is great, thanks. How about the silver and gold replica of the Saudi palace worth $32,000! and the Order of Zayed necklace worth $86,000. trying to buy our friendship?
I guess “handled pursuant to Secret Service Policy” means they ate/ drank it (e.g. the caviar that Cheney got)
and Evan Bayh is accepting food and lodging from Saudis!!!?
didn’t notice the shotguns and pistols – will take another look. probably the Europeans think that’s all united statesians think about is guns.
I notice the Saudis gave a LOT of gifts to staff! also, there were a few horse related gifts (blankets, stirrups) from people who didn’t realize George is afraid of horses.
No, actually I pointed that out because I always pay attention to Croatia, one of the pistol givers. The other Euro that comes to mind was Czech Republic.
Which not to offend anyone but if you know those guys, it’s actually not so surprising π
Oh yeah, don’t get too stressed out. Here’s a little comic relief π
My favorite is the 18″ figure carved in 56,000-year-old bog wood. What a riot!

I love how he got all those shotguns and pistols too – esp from EUROPEAN countries gasp

is there some storage area in DC where we can see these things? interesting that Bush kept those plates, but I think Laura has a thing for plates.

Starting to get sweating bullets time around here π
Did you notice the only thing Bush kept were some fucking plates? That’s got to be a story π

Oh wow, these are the plates? Wow what a weird choice π

It looks like someone threw up Goldschlager
he needed something to fill his presidential library…why not trinkets?
there won’t be much else, it’s all been redacted…national security, ya know.
