Road, Hell, etc.
Posted by Jill | 4:18 PM

Hey, George! You know what they say about the road to Hell, don'tcha?

Under the new fund-raising drive, to be coordinated by the White House's USA Freedom Corps, an office that encourages volunteering, Clinton and former President George H.W. Bush will solicit donations by doing interviews and traveling the country. They also will tap into their own networks of contacts to try to pry donations from corporations, foundations and the wealthy.

To help in what he called ''this urgent cause,'' Bush urged Americans to send money instead of other items and restrict their giving to ''reliable charities already providing help to tsunami victims.'' The Freedom Corps Web site -- www.usafreedomcorps.gov -- was providing a ''donate now'' link to five dozen such organizations.

Bush himself plans to make a personal donation but has not done so yet.


You know, I got online on Tuesday the 28th -- just as soon as I saw links as to who was accepting donations -- and donated to Doctors Without Borders. This fucking guy still hasn't given a nickel out of his own pocket nine days later?

(In fairness, Bill Clinton hasn't indicated how much he's planning to donate either, though he too says he's planning to. Stay tuned for updates)
