We’re Just Sayin’: Chief of Staff Josh Bolten Loves Key West & The Theatre

Josh Bolten

White House Chief of Staff Joshua Bolten – affectionately known to the president as “Yosh” – was included on White House’s list of gift disclosures. In there among a shotgun for Karl Rove is a list of Bolten’s bounty:

White House Chief of Staff Joshua B. Bolten listed assets worth $1.1 million to $2.3 million, including a vacation home in Key West, Fla., worth $500,000 to $1 million. Bolten reported receiving tickets worth $8,000 to the Kennedy Center — two for the National Symphony season opening ball in September 2005 and two for the Kennedy Center Honors in December 2005.

Opines a political-minded Queerty reader:

Do you know many St8 -unmarried (never married) men aged 40’s – low 50’s whom own homes in Provincetown, Fire Island and Key West?

And accept 8000 bucks worth of Hockey and Baseball tickets…………………opps sorry, I mean theater tickets

No, in fact, we don’t. Though to be fair, we haven’t independently confirmed Bolten owns homes in Provincetown and Fire Island. (Did you?)

Bonus: After the jump, our reader applies the Bolten edits to the Village People’s “Key West.”
