I guess it just goes to show that:
(a) politicians are cheap - bidding stalled at less than $300 until the Most Eligible Bachelor put on a show. Like Condoleeza is hard up for cash? C'mon!
(b) Press Secretaries are worth a lot more money than surgeons turned Republican Senators.
(c) Nobody cares about public health unless they're sick themselves. Tommy Thompson should've gone the first time up for auction!
