Critics blast Schwarzenegger's million-dollar inauguration party



Sacramento- California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is planning to celebrate his re-election with a two-day Hollywood-style party that will cost over a million dollars, drawing criticism from advocates for consumer and taxpayer rights. The centrepiece of the extravaganza will be the former action movie star's swearing-in Friday in front of about 3,000 guests at Sacramento's historic Memorial Auditorium, where guitarist and singer Jose Feliciano will perform the national anthem.

The official event will be preceded by a swanky private dinner for big political donors the night before. It will be followed by a spate of luncheons and a gala ball featuring singers Donna Summer and Paul Anka entertaining guests who will pay at least 500 dollars each to attend.

This guy is so out of control it isn't even funny. That million dollars could be used to help so many. Ignorant out of touch, insensitive, Imbecile, another term for Gubinator.
