Open with video of Bush and Gore in debate on October 2000:
""I believe they've moved that sign, 'The buck stops here,' from the Oval Office desk to 'The buck stops here' on the Lincoln Bedroom. And that's not good for the country."
VO: Really, Mr. Bush? What do you say about the guests who have given you tens of thousands of dollars for your campaign to run for President...
Video: scroll of 240 guests (so far) who have stayed at Lincoln Bedroom
Music: cocktail music with clinking glasses, mild laughter
