So Who's The Girlie Man Now?

Sandra Shows Up George


News Item: Sandra Bullock donates $1 million to the tsunami relief effort. (She also donated $1 million following 9/11.)


News Item: President George W. Bush, multi-millionaire, son of a multi-millionaire, donates $10,000 to the tsunami relief fund. That's fully 1 percent of Bullock's contribution. Also of interest is the fact that Mr. Bush only donated after several days of questions from the press regarding his charitable intentions.


It's funny how the folks who push private charity and advocate cutting back on federal philanthropy also turn out to be the stingiest.
