At the urging of President Obama, that epitome of responsibility and compassion, George Wuhhh Bush, will get off his lazy keister and join former president Bill Clinton to help lead the US relief effort for earthquake-devastated Haiti.
This is why.
Do not use Discover or MasterCard, for those soulless evil bastards have no qualms about reaping profits from the suffering of a few million people and from the good hearts of those who want to help.
In related Fox News, Britt Hume questions how the poor can be hungry if he just ate dinner…

JP Morgan Chase reported that it earned $11.7 billion last year, which is "more than double its profit in 2008. … The bank earned $3.3 billion in the fourth quarter alone." The bank has also "earmarked $26.9 billion to compensate its workers, 18 percent higher than in 2008 much of which will now be paid as bonuses."

So Glenn Beck asked the Quitter who her favorite Founding Father is, and she answered "all of them" - which was, totally coincidentally, exactly same answer she gave Katie Couric when asked what newspapers she read.
Anyway, Beck wouldn't have it, and when pressed, she came up with - tada! - George Washington.
Strange choice. I don't know why Palin would admire someone who was soft on terror opposed to torture.
Should any American soldier be so base and infamous as to injure any [prisoner] ... I do most earnestly enjoin you to bring him to such severe and exemplary punishment as the enormity of the crime may require. Should it extend to death itself, it will not be disproportional to its guilt at such a time and in such a cause ... for by such conduct they bring shame, disgrace and ruin to themselves and their country.
There's more. Read the whole thing.

Limbaugh stands by his Haiti remarks, tells critical caller she's a 'bigot' with 'tampons in her ears' http://thinkprogress.org/2010/01/14/limbaugh-haiti-tampons/
The humanitarian also said, 'this Haiti thing was made-to-order for Obama, so he could boost his image with the coloreds':
"I want you to remember, it took [Obama] three days -- three days! -- to respond to the Christmas Day fruit of ka-boom bomber ... He comes out here in less than 24 hours to speak about Haiti ... [snip] … they'll use this to burnish ahhh their, ahhh shall we say, ahhh credibility with the black community, both the light skinned and, ahhh, hmmm ... dark skinned black community ..."
Good gravy, what a monstrous POS. And don't get me started on "man of God" Pat Robertson, who Jeebus should have smited a long time ago.

BELOVED ARIZONA CONGRESSMAN RETIRING: Arizona Congressman John Shadegg, one of the House's top super-crazies, will not seek re-election for his stupid seat. This brings the total number of Republican retirements in Congress to 14, which you may not have known, since all the news tells us is that every Democrat is retiring because they have f**ked things up so badly.

Last year: Obama is giving press conferences. Doesn't he have anything more important to do?
Today: Obama has gone six months without a press conference. How dare he?!?
Next week: Obama is giving press conferences. Doesn't he have anything more important to do?
"I don't see one on the schedule, at least in the short term, which is precisely what I said," Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said, adding, "The last time we had this conversation here about the president's media strategy, I was informed by many of you that the president was overexposed. So blow me."
Well, he should have.
The HuffPo's Warren Holstein:
"The end is nigh. Watching Bill Kristol's Eliza Do-nothing struggle to dress up her red-meat-tea-party talking points in snarkily delivered, barely comprehensible, pseudo-intellectual jargon on Fox News as she is coaxed by Bill O'Righty like an over-eager poodle pup, makes me think this Frankenditz might be the harbinger of the Rapture she's spent her entire charmed life preparing for."No, come on, how do you really feel? : D
Though most Fox hosts and contributors play dumb as to not come across to their audience as elitist arugula-eaters, Caribou Barbie is the real thing, says Leslie Savan:
That's not going to happen to Palin. And anyway, real or faked, for Fox and the Republican Party dumbness in the name of demagoguery is no vice. Sarah Palin's ability to sit there with a straight face and say things so stupid that they break the sound barrier, leaving her opponents speechless, is a gift, not a failing…. At that moment, you could almost see a long line of older Republican men who helped her rise in politics, beginning with former Alaska Governor Frank Murkowski and ending with John McCain, shaking their heads in shell-shocked disbelief.
