That is a lot of wasted tax payer money in what was basically just a political pose for the Christian Right donors.

Not wasted in terms of energizing the "base" to keep them voting Republican for zero results and plenty of sound- biting / flag-wrapping / bible-thumping / family-value-sermonizing / NASCAR-watching / finger-pointing at fellow Americans / fireworks-launching / rebel-yelling / family-planning clinic-protesting / free-speech-zoning / body-bag accumulating / warrantless wire-tapping / no-bid-contracting / faith-based researching / evolution-debunking / anti-unionizing / Fox News-watching / corporate-whoring / gnawing at the church/state separation which is the basis of the existence of the United States.
