The Cheneys are good people. It would be interesting to know what the Clintons contribute to charity.

They are. But, the MSM and liberals being who they are, will focus on the $1.9 million refund he got back as a result of these donations.

Although it may not amount to significant savings, most charities that accept donations will allow you to assess the value of your own donation, so you are essentially determining the size of the deduction you can take. (Remember when Bill Clinton donated his old underwear and then took tax deductions, valuing the underwear at $2 per pair?)

Some people are more generous than others....

The Clintons were takers, not givers. I'd love to see their off shore accounts?

What the Clintons did give away, was tons of American technology to China, and God knows to who else that has already come back to bite us.

I would be more interested in knowing how much they are scaming from charities.

Watchdog Cites Failures at Charity

President Clinton's charitable foundation failed to meet at least six of 19 accountability standards established by the Better Business Bureau, according to a recent report from the watchdog group.

The report, issued in June, said the Clinton Foundation lacks policies requiring performance reviews for its chief executive officer and for the organization as a whole. The Better Business Bureau review also observed that the foundation's annual reports and Web site do not contain detailed financial statements or information about the charity's board of directors.

In addition, the bureau's charity evaluation service, called the Wise Giving Alliance, said it could not establish whether the foundation was observing five other good-governance practices regarding board meetings, conflict-of-interest policies, budget issues, and donor privacy.

"There are a number of concerns here," the head of the alliance, Bennett Weiner, said in an interview. "We didn't get a copy of the audited financial statement. They did have an annual report, but it didn't include specifically the board roster and the summary of finances that is recommended."

Mr. Weiner said nonprofit groups that seek money on the Internet should post detailed financial reports online.

A spokesman for Mr. Clinton, Jay Carson, said the foundation is working to address the concerns raised by the watchdog group. "In terms of the things brought up in the report, they are all either in place now or will be in place by the end of 2005," he said.

Mr. Carson noted that the foundation, which was established in 1997, has been a small operation focused on raising funds to build and endow Mr. Clinton's $165 million presidential library in Arkansas. The spokesman said some of the procedures recommended by the bureau, such as program reviews, will make more sense as the foundation turns greater attention to its ongoing projects, such as efforts to reduce racial strife abroad, to provide drug treatment for HIV/AIDS, and to offer advice to small-business owners in New York

I don't like this donation. I wish he had given it to the RNC instead. Then they would not have needed creeps like abramhoff. A lot of people are sacrificing real money to fund Swann, Ehrlich and Steele in the 2006 elections too.

No it wouldn't.

You already know only too well that the Cli'tons see themselves AS a charity!

And the Cheneys are, indeed, Good Americans.

God bless them all.

Happy Easter - B A

The Chenys produce, therefore have Taxable Income

Poster children of the left like Kerry and Kennedy are just aged recips of trust funds and political maneuvering so the smoke screen must be deployed, Drudge and MSM are happy to oblige.

Used underwear--demanding a receipt for a tax deduction; we have it archived in the Clinton Presidential Library/Bordello. Despite their eight and twelve million book advances, speakers fees, Dubai consulting fees, et cetera.
