This Egeland jackass who called us stingy makes over $300,000.00 per year TAX FREE. Then he has the nerve to go on television and say that WE peasants should be forced to pay more taxes so he can have more money to distribute to the needy.

The hubris is shocking.

He makes more money than President Bush and is charged with aiding the victims of catastrophes... yet the press has chosen to attack President Bush again as if this were all somehow his fault.

Grrrrrrrrrrr

Ah yes, the Washington Polemic and the Gay York Times. With news outlets such as these, Osauma probably really does believe he's winning.

The fact that this jerk lives tax free is enlightening. He has no right to chide others on taxes. Neither does that effer Kofi Annan who must be getting the same tax free treatment.

In reality, Egeland didn't suggest we raise taxes to pay for humanitarian aid. He made reference to the idea that "taxpayers" would like to see more money allocated to foreign aid.

He also included his own country--Norway--and the EU with countries he called "stingy."

When he used the word, he was also referring to those countries' collective contributions to foreign aid in general, over past years, rather than their responses to this catastrophe specifically.

If it's true he earns $300,000 per year, then he does not in fact earn more than the President, whose salary is $400,000 annually.

Does anyone even pay attention to the New York Times anymore?
