Mickey Mouse, Sock Garters Among $28,000 Bush Gifts
Vice President George Bush received more than $28,000 in presents last year, including 34 packages of elastic garters for his socks and a 7-inch Mickey Mouse statuette, his financial disclosure form revealed today.
The vice president, who has joked about his preppy style of dressing and variety of multicolored watchbands, also got a dozen black socks, a $400 snowmobile suit and helmet, two Stetsons and a pair of western boots--and a Chicago Cubs jacket from former Cubs pitcher Milt Pappas.
He also got seven golf shirts from professional golfer Doug Sanders and a pair of Reebok running shoes from the Los Angeles Clippers, pro basketball’s worst team.
