Well Les, as far as Im concerned none of the following items (which represent 50% of the listed items in your post) represent inappropriate "gifts".

With regards to sporting events, I get to go to them sometimes and sit in the box, which is very expensive. Its because these accounting firms Price,Anderson,KPMG etc buy these boxes every year for clients. I am occasionally in a position to hire some of their people so if the box is free they let me know and sometimes I go. BIG DEAL. And that US Open price looks pretty suspicious to me, a retail price for a box maybe? (except nobody actually pays that - ever)

$6000. for tickets to clinton innauguration dinner? You call that an inappropriate gift?

All of these items seem ok to me, at worst perhaps a misjudgement on Espys part. These are the kind of things opposing politicians use in campaigning to draw attention to some possible bias' etc. This is not what I call corruption!

Sun-Diamond Growers Cooperative:
-- $4,200 U.S. Open tennis tickets
