But according to Oklahoma Congressman Mike Synar, Stealth may cost as much as $600 million a copy, twice the nearly $300 million current price...
...year. A man in a baby bonnet bursts out of a cake. The First Lady jives under flashing strobe lights with an American consular official dressed in Bermuda shorts. Then Ferdinand Marcos Jr., a former provincial governor known to family and friends as Bong-bong, steps up to a mike, sporting makeup and a flashing electronic bow tie, and joins in on a raucous rendition of We Are the World, the song recorded to raise money for the starving in Ethiopia...
