List of "compassionate conservatist" donations to Tsunami?
I'm wondering just how much the leading compassionate conservatists of our country have given to the Tsunami relief effort? In particular, that leader of leaders (gag), Bush Himself (personally - not our $$$ -- his). Anyone know of a list?

Enquiring minds wanna know who have reached into their personal wallets to give:

Bush
Ahnold (I'd imagine he gives a lot)
Cheney
Frist
Jeb
Georgie Sr.
Rove
Rumsfeld
Condy
Ashcroft (do his eagles soar above Tsunami land?)

1. Did you listen to Al Franken today?
Earlier this afternoon he listed a number of conservative politcal and conservative religious sites and pointed out that only ONE of them provided links to tsunami relief donation sites.

3. As of yesterday Bush had given a big fat $0
But his press secretary said he would be making a contribution "soon".

What a fucking piker. Here I am an evil, godless, librul, and I am out-contributing the President of the United States that wears his religion on his sleeve and pretends to be moral.

4. sometimes people give more than $$

For instance, here's what I'm thinking they "gave":

:bounce:

Bush - offered to go on vacation to Phi Phi and "clear brush"

Ahnold - personally groped all female Swedish survivors; called all male survivors "girlie-men" for not saving people

Cheney - dispatched Haliburton and KBR workers to the region equipped with check-books from the Federal Treasury (thus avoiding the need to issue no-bid contracts and let them write checks to whomever they wanted and for as much as they needed without any oversight)

Frist - tort reform

Jeb - gallantly flew over the wrecked landscape and then put into place officials to rig elections in Sri Lanka, Indonesia, and Thailand

Georgie Sr. - a thousand points of light

Rove - nothing (he's still spiting up venom from the election)

Rumsfeld - poignantly explained that even though 150K+ people had died, and millions more are homeless, people have to live with the country they're assigned to, not the country they wish they could live in

Condy - offered to re-rename the Altair Voyager back to the Condoleezza Rice, fill it up with with water and send it to the region (all went as planned, until Exxon's drunk ship captain rammed the tanker into a reef, spilling millions of gallons of fresh water into the ocean)

Ashcroft - knelt in prayer and then raised the Terror Alert system to orange, citing credible intelligence that "Sue Nami" might be planning on striking the US next.....

6. Good point - where's Limbaugh's 1 Million?

He probably makes as much a Sandra Bullock.
