Ceci Connolly, who suggested that U.S. aid contributions were stingy in comparison to the nearly $1 billion of federal relief that poured into the state of Florida during last year's hurricane epidemic, which killed a mere 100 Americans.

How much UN aid or aid from any other countries made it to Florida? I'm betting it was $0.0.

Still the same. $0.0

Exactly. It never occurs to Cici (or any other lib) that the US foots the entire bill for its own catastrophes. If the MSM had spent less time bitching about, politicizing and second-guessing the Bush administration's hurricane relief efforts they might have noticed the utter lack of even a polite offer of assistance from a single foreign government.
We are the world's Little Red Hen, except that after planting, growing and harvesting the wheat, grinding it into flour and baking the bread, we give the bread away and get blamed that it isn't enough, doesn't meet cultural expectations and there's no butter.
