Outgoing Bush official buys $235,000 bathroom instead of a clue

With your money. The WaComPo finally gets around to reporting on outgoing Interior Secretary/asshat Dirk Kempthorne, who spent $235,000 in taxpayer funds to renovate his office bathroom a few months ago.

The upgrade included installing a new shower, buying monogrammed towels, and "lavish wood paneling and tile." Oh, and a working refrigerator and freezer enclosed in a tasteful cabinet. A working refrigerator and freezer. In the bathroom.

Fun fact: like pissoir-enamored Larry Craig, Kempthorne is from Idaho.

I'm sure he wanted it looking nice in case Larry dropped by.
