Default WSJ on the WA ethics debate

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124330183074253149.html

Actually, I'm trying to wrap my head around that $25,000 figure. Jay
Miller was in Australia for 11 days. Let's see:
$5K for business class tickets (can often get for much less, but let's
assume Wines of Australia didn't bargain hunt)
Another $5K for hotels - that's over $400/night for 12 nights. Nice
hotels!
Maybe an internal flight or two, probably a hired driver. $3K tops?
That's a thousand a day for food. Holy Smokes!
But it's even more extreme, as I think he was on the houseboat with
his bud for a couple of days. More like $1300-1400 a day for food.
Belly up to the table!
