you dont pledge a blank check. These people are idiots.
At the time we pledged the 15 Million, we hadnt yet known of the nearly 100,000 dead.
You all got money. Why not shut the hell up and donate yourselves.
If there's one thing I can't stand, it's rich people bitching about other people being too stingy without stepping to the plate.
LOL!
You just can't make this crap up. The NYSlimes parody themselves. What a bunch of ratbastards!!
I would like to see a listing of the tsunami relief contributions made by the editorial board, staff, and owners of the NY times, along with a breakdown of the amount as a percentage of their income and net worth.
Please don't take to long doing this, guys. You know how awful it was that bush didn't make a personal appearance at his ranch until tuesday. Clinton would have been feeling their pain in a well timed appearance monday morning if he was still president.
Besides, the President didn't want 72 hours - the President was on the phone the following day the event - offering any needed supplies or whatever - according to the leader of Indonesia. In fact - the guy said that Bush was the first one to call and offer assistance.
So .. while the Clintons, the NYT and the Wash Compost are whining that Bush was on vacation and not paying attention, Bush was already way ahead of them. They are really small and pitiful people. This continued vilification of Bush will continue to lose them elections.
So the NY Times has to find a category where the US doesn't give the most. sheesh.
Sweden and Belgium also send more sex toy aid to foreign countries than the US does. I am surprised the NY Slimes left that out.
Why do we get so worked up over this commie rag? We shouldn't even give them any extra publicity. The paper has no integrity and we shouldn't even give it any attention.
Never mind how many members of the New York Times editorial board are kicking in relief money, or even how much. How many members of the Times editorial board are actually working over the holidays?
The Iranian government chooses to spend it's enormous oil revenues on a nuclear weapons program, yet in the NYTimes' view, Iranian housing problems are our fault.
OK NYTimes. Eat s$%^ with a rusty spoon.
