One of the Fox News Channel reporters asked Kofi Annan to his face if he was aware of criticism that he (Kofi) should have made a statement sooner.
The embezzler's answer: "It should be clear to anyone that I don't need to be in my office for me to be working on this."
If it is okay for Kofi to work on the tsunami from a ski slope, why can't Bush work on it from a Texas ranch?

easy MSN formula answer: Kofi = Mandella, Bush = Hitler
Indeed. One hopes this does not get lost on the American people who have also been insulted as "stingy".
On the one hand President Bush has been attacked mercilessly when he was at his own home for Christmas. On the other we have Annan at an elite resort.
The one who was at home emerges first before the cameras and when he does he is prepared with facts and figures and specifics of putting together a plan of aid that clearly had been initiated immediately upon receipt of the news and has already been put into action, the first funds sent out on the very day disaster struck. For his troubles he is eviscerated by the nastiest of vile scum (aka newspaper editors, liberal pundits and dem congresspeople).
The elite resort vacationer emerges a full day later speaking in generalities, far off "meetings" and a not-so-subtle rebuke that the aid will "never be enough".
Color me disgusted.
