BALTIMORE (AP) - Catholic Relief Services is pledging $25 million for emergency relief and long-term programs to help people in southeast Asia recover from the tsunami that has killed more than 117,000 people and left millions without clean water, shelter, food or medicine.

And yet Egelund and, what's worse, the New York Times started this particular fight by suggesting the US response was miserly and inadequate.

All this nonsense and going back and forth about "who is donating what?" and "why so stingy?" and "france did this" and look at us!! "we've donated more than you" crap is getting ridiculous.
Absolutely. Blame the UN and the liberals. Egelund, who is now backpedalling so hard it's amazing he doesn't burst a blood vessel, clearly doesn't understand that free people don't delegate their charity to a bunch of politicians and bureaucrats.
