Microsoft Corp. marked the end of its annual giving campaign by hosting former President Bill Clinton for a campus visit. Clinton, joining Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer to reveal the results of this year’s campaign, told a standing-room-only audience of more than 1,000 employees and thousands more watching via webcast that every individual, regardless of status or income, can help solve global challenges such as climate change and poverty.

As of the wording of this thing weren't enough of a statement to put an exclamation point on what I've talked about for a long time now....

Microsoft(and for that matter Apple) being the liberal corporation that it is invites former pres Clinton to do.... whatever.... anything.

I'd consider it a *VERY* safe bet that Microsoft(and for that matter Apple) would not invite Limbaugh to do..... whatever.... anything.

Granted, I doubt Rush could raise quite as much as MS did (This year, employee donations and Microsoft’s matching contributions of cash and software totaled over $72 million, exceeding last year’s tally of $63 million.) but Rush does his fair share of giving, the first thing that comes to mind is the Leukemia + Lymphoma society drive.

And yeah, I can already hear the charges... 'well you just hate bill' or 'you just hate microsoft' or 'hate capitalism' or 'hate giving' or any others that may be made. Nah. I'm just simply establishing a pattern.

A tiger is a tiger. A liberal is a liberal. Be it a person or a company.

Perhaps Bill can relive history and cap the celebration by donating another pair of used boxer shorts.
