  1. Didn't all of them stay in the same room, though?? What happened to the mayor always staying at his friend's house or something like that.

  2. Good question, I don't know. I just know what the agenda says. I've heard that before but the notorious LMT didnt' say anything either way.

  3. In the same room? What, spooning to save us taxpayers' money?

  4. Nambre, these people don't share rooms. When I talked to Dr. Landeck some time back, he agreed that they should watch how much they spend but he still liked the privacy of his own hotel room.

    The mayor always says that he stays with a friend or a daughter or something like that.

    This hotel looks nice and it's so close to the White House but it might be a dump. Hell, there's a fee for WiFi?!
    Everybody will justify their stay with, "well, these accomodations were made for me by city staff. I had nothing to do with it."

    I can't wait for Esteban Rangel to show us pictures of his visit to the Lincoln Memorial.

  5. He'll probably be "like, you know, it was like awesome, pretty much and stuff and you know, I'm like, this is cool and pretty much everyone can see how, like hard we work n stuff, pretty much".

  6. The Waldorf Astoria has a fee for Wifi, actually the cheap hotels are the ones that have free wifi and the expensive ones charge.
