While I didn't appreciate Angelina Jolie not standing when Condi shook hands with her, I think it's worth noting that Angelina has donated a huge amount of her own money to the UN - she clearly believes in what she is doing.

I never heard whether Julia Roberts or Audrey Hepburn used any of their own money in the UN office they held, so I think we should cut some slack for Angelina.

Bill O'Reilly, who I no longer watch but can't help hearing "promos" for his shows since I listen/watch so much of FNC, I think you'd like to know that his staff investigated whether she had actually donated the money that some rag had reported, and the bottom line is that she indeed had.

You and I may disagree over whether the UN should even exist, or not, and how much good it is doing, or not, but Angelina Jolie is at least one Hollywood star who tries to do some good with her money, and takes her title at the UN very seriously. I believe she was also one of the Hollywood folks who donated a Million dollars of their own money for the Tsunami relief.

Just thought you might like to know.

I now return you to the Dose - and discussions on our President, VEEP, First Lady and Condi.

I didn't question her sincerity...I only said her legs were skinny. :-)
