Bush to Bachmann: ‘Take off those stupid pink gloves’

While some expect U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann to embarrass herself, she had some help at the Republican state convention in Rochester this weekend. Former White House adviser Karl Rove headlined the convention, and he recounted a humorous exchange during Bachmann’s 2006 fund-raiser with President Bush.
“Take off those stupid pink gloves,” Rove recalled Bush saying.
Bachmann, of course, is no stranger to wearing pink or donning gloves for fashion’s sake. Consider the outfit she picked out for her fund-raiser with Bush just before her election in 2006. From The Star Tribune:
Clad in a pale pink suit jacket and matching knee-length skirt, Bachmann sported not only a pearl necklace, but also pink heels and pale pink wrist-length gloves with scalloped edges and a rhinestone bracelet. Asked about the gloves, Bachmann smiled broadly and said, “The president’s coming. We want to look our best.”
It doesn’t sound like Bush thought she looked “her best.”

Why America? Two things bother me and I need help. Can you tell me and Please publish also … How much foreign aid was paid to Israel in 2008. I found figures for 2007, and few people believe that we (us in the United States) sent 1.6 million dollars A DAY to Israel. How much has inflation and the current administration increased that “aid” and WHY on Earth does Israel need that much “aid”.
Second I’m pretty sure I know one source of inflation, but I don’t have figures to support my supposition. Can you find figures on how much currency is printed annually and compare that to how much currency is taken out of circulation, for … lets say the last ten years? Again, if you can, let me know and Please publish the information.
Thanks for All your doing.
