The State Department curtly described the 20-by-10 centimetre item Mr. Chrétien gave as a "marble base with wooden pen rest," guessed it was worth $20, and quickly dispatched it to the archives. It never once graced Mr. Bush's desk in the Oval Office.

Some underling misjugded the value of the item. Then filed it away without a thought.
Though, it is interesting that one of your mayors out did your PM (in dollar value only - not artistic signifigance).
Find fault with the man for things he does. Don't go fishing for things to bitch about him. [/QUOTE]Dollar Value of a gift? That reminds of me the sterotypical rich Texan oil tycoon?
It's not about the dollar value, it's the craftmanship and materials that make it a choice piece, and quite honestly if I'm given a gift, I show some manners and look at it, irregardless of who gave it to me. I guess that's why I'm not the president.
