Mr. Pitt is going Washington.
Nancy Pelosi's office says Brad Pitt is set to meet with the Speaker of the House on Thursday to discuss the 45-year-old actor's charity efforts in New Orleans.
Pitt founded "Make It Right" in 2007 to help build environmentally sustainable housing for low-income residents in New Orleans who lost their homes during Hurricane Katrina. He was nominated for a best-actor Oscar for "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button."

She is not remotely talented or intelligent. I am embarrassed that she is an elected official and the Speaker. It is a nightmare.
How can you pick ONE to be mortified over?
Both ought to wear t-shirts that say “I’m with stupid”.
Yes, most of NO was NOT destroyed. You wouldn’t know it by the news, however.
I don’t think Mensa is gonna lose any sleep over THAT meeting.
see the connection now
There is still something on the order of $30 billion that has NOT been spent from Katrina funds. Nobody left to claim them.
I just recovered from amnesia precipitated by flying debris to my head during Katrina. Where can I pick up a billion or two? Make that 5 seeing as Hussein is devaluing our dollar and taxing anything I would make off the deal.
You think old Nan’s smile was big when she stood behind BHO at the fake State of the Union address. Wait until we see the pics of her standing next to Brad Pitt. She’ll probably just explode right then and there.

I don’t know why Pitt wastes his money in New Orleans. These “poor folks” he’s trying to help really don’t appreciate it and I can only imagine what the houses he is trying to have built for them will look like in a couple years. These people are poor by choice. He could spend his money better to help people in Mississippi and parts of Louisiana other then New Orleans. Of course these people have helped themselves by now.
Maybe he is going because he realized no one is talking about New Orleans since Obama has been President.
Pitt wants a ceremony for his charity...
Oh well, if you insist. I’ll be good from now on 8~P
So true..
Oh ok, I don’t trust wikipedia so I checked with USGS and you are correct. New Orleans has a minimum elevation (or depression) of 8 feet below sea level.
I did an Obama, I fudged the numbers to make it fit my statement. OMG! Obama has got to go, he is bad influence on me. LOL!!!
The Democrats don't even hide their hypocrisy anymore. They all have expiration dates on their own statements, while hammering everyone else to death for anything they may have said in the past.

Shania Twain pretty much summed it all up years ago....
Oh-oo-oh, you think you’re special
Oh-oo-oh, you think you’re something else
Okay, so you’re Brad Pitt
That don’t impress me much
I thought the hollywood celebs did all that charity stuff for PR.
