I see the Rev. Moon will be at the inauguration
and gave $250,000 for the bash. :eyes:

Oh, and you can 'easily' find this in the MSM. Its under a title labeled 'gossip' talking about some movie star's romp in rio.

Moon over Washington

One of the deep pocketed-Bush fans helping foot the $40 million tab for George W.’s inauguration is Reverend Sun Myung Moon. The controversial head of the Unification Church — whose followers are sometimes derisively called “Moonies” — reportedly funneled $250,000 towards the lavish bash.

“The $250,000 cash contribution, which represents the limit set for such gifts, comes from the Moon-controlled Washington Television Center,” according to CultNews.com. “The Bushes do have a long-standing and fruitful relationship with Rev. Moon, which is why the South Korean religious leader makes it a point to attend their inaugurations and he can count on good seats.”

“Don’t be surprised if George W. Bush pumps out a last-minute pardon for Rev. Moon on his tax-fraud conviction just before leaving the White House,” CultNews’s Rick Ross tells The Scoop. “After all, Reverend Moon has been very good to the Bush family and he may think they owe him one.”

1. Why not?
He picks up Fallwell's tab and Fallwell works for bush and rove........
I hope as long as he is there he can do one of his mass marriage things....

Our Nation is headed into darkness.

3. Rev. Moon ought to have his very own float for the parade
one that depicts him as the messiah returning, with tons of cash flowing behind him and the Bush family sucking it all up in his wake with adoring eyes.

5. This info sure is buried!
Tucked in between Leonardo DiCaprio's pecadillos and Beyonce's jealous fits.

If this doesn't show the postions of NBC, nothing does.

6. I guess Jerry and company aren't as rapture ready as they thought
If what fundamentalists believe about the Revelation was to actually occur, I do believe that taking money from a false prophet such as Moon will keep them out of heaven, where they will weep and gnash their teeth.
