He spent more time roaming on the range than behind his office desk in Crawford.

Libby's are whining about the many trips W took to Crawford during his administration. So they're saying that was wrong, but this is not wrong? Give me a break. Crawford visits were 'working' trips for Bush. He could actually function as the POTUS while there, not like in the seat of an Opera House, or standing in line at a burger joint. Let's not forget one of the first "Date nights" which involved a trip back to Chicago, with overnight stay, limos, AF-1, etc., this NYC trip probably pales in costs involved. $73k could be a conservative estimate.

I remember when he went to Iowa on Earth Day and the figures quoted included: Marine One to/from Andrews AFB, Air Force One to/from Iowa, then Marine One again from the Iowa airport to/from the windmill factory. How did Marine One magically appear in Iowa or NYC in this case. It was either flown or transported to these locales (I don't recall if the VH-3 fits on a C-5. Let's also not forget the Presidential limo that was used in NYC. There's no way to get that on a Gulfstream. At a minimum a C-130 hauled to thing to NYC. But as the C-130 is probably not considered glamorous, they probably took it up there on a C-17. I bet these additional costs were not included in the $73K $73K and that’s just part of it.
