It’s hard work

To the editor:

In response to Betty Marsh’s Jan. 5 letter to the editor regarding the $40 million inauguration, it should be noted that the cost of Sen. Hillary Clinton’s and Sen. Sam Brownback’s many junkets around the world makes the cost of the inauguration look like chump change.

Besides, aren’t the president and chief campaign strategist Karl Rove entitled to a well-deserved party?

After all, “campaigning for president is hard work.”
