Someone really ought to erect a statue on the Mall to Mary Jo for keeping this reprobate out of the White House. She really DID give her life for her country.

I notice Crazy Larry didn’t attempt to claim that libs give more charity than conservatives, he just plugged some charity that he’s got his name on. Not the same deal, Larry.
Did it look something like this??”
I think that’s his oldest boy, Theodore ... named after Ded Kennedy (D-HELL) his hero.
Hey, isn’t that Lawrence O’Donnell? I didn’t know he celebrated Christmas.
The story below goes times 100 for the crowd in Washington.
One of the bits of information I picked up while lobbying on the money issue down at the old gold dome is that each year, the legislature publishes a list of all the bills they passed during the session. It used to be called the “Legislative Summary.” Probably still is.
I was absolutely FASCINATED when I opened the first one I came across. Right there on page one is the following verbiage: (I’m paraphrasing)
“No determination has been made as to the CONSTITUTIONALITY of any of the legislative acts summarized herein.”
That statement was signed by the Legislative Counsel (their lawyer).
Bottom line: If anyone thinks these guys have one eye on the state and national Constitutions as they mess with our lives, they’d better think again.
One of the NOT-SO-FUNNY experiences I had while mucking about down there was the night several of us were invited to one of the many lobbyist funded and euphemistically named “Hospitality Suites.” Legislators are invited to come by after the session ends each day to eat, drink and make merry (mostly drink).
As we walked down the hallway of the fashionable hotel where this particular suite was located, we followed two young freshmen legislators. They were just sauntering and talking and as we closed in from the rear to within earshot, one turned to the other and declared (and I swear on my sainted mother’s grave that this is true): “This is fun. It’s kinda like spending your own money — but it’s not REALLY your money.” Then they both laughed.
When we got to the suite — to which we’d been INVITED by the member who supported our particular issue, we were almost immediately — and very curtly — told to leave by another member who outranked our friend. Wouldn’t do to have ordinary CITIZENS overhearing the deals being made.
We’re clearly doomed.
In Seattle, it was liberals who expanded the concept of “charities” to include arts organizations. Most conservatives would rightfully disagree with that usage.
Giving money to the bureaucrats at the UN is not the same as helping children.

Why desks or sitting on the floor? How ‘bout some nice comfy couches?
I read a story a couple of years ago about this very thing.
The most generous; lower middle class with guys from Alabama gave a huge amount in proportion to their incomes to the poor
(less church giving) than the high income men in Massachutes.
In fact in state rankings, Alabama was 1st and Massachutes was dead last.
Another typical “do as I say, not as I do” liberal rule.
If you look at this charity a year from now, you’l be shocked, SHOCKED I tell you, to find almost no desks delivered and the funds siphoned off to who-knows-which-corrupt official.

That’s Mr. Mohammed Al Hankie, the Ramadan poo.
(His head towel was in the laundry for its annual washing so we had to make doo with the red hat for the photo shoot.)
Ha! The Northeast arts-giver types I know think the flyover country Christians’ giving doesn’t count, because it’s mostly churchgoers giving to what in effect are the local social clubs (churches) of which they are members.
He dares bring Rush in on this? Rush is the guy who auctioned off Harry Reid’s letter criticizing him for $2.1 million, matched that $2.1 million with his own money, and donated it all to kids. And there are all of those charity cigar auctions and golf tournaments he continually does.
As of last night, UNICEF had processed over $600,000 in contributions to the K.I.N.D. Fund... Since I have fought in Africa, I KNOW each and every cent was spent on the military, the ‘GOVERNORS” or the bureaucrats who begged for this moohlah. In order for the “desks” to have arrived, been shipped and installed,it would have cost 8 times what this asshat is spouting.
And if they do, he'll count that as liberal giving?
Interesting though that he pretty much admits that only liberals watch his show. After all, he used the giving from his show as proof that liberals give money, so he must be certain that there aren't any conservatives in his audience.
Sounds like lots of administrative costs per desk!
Also, I checked his audience numbers, and one source said he had over a million viewers at some point.
Which means the average giving for his audience is around 70 CENTS.
Way to go, liberals. Giving up the foam on your latte for a day!!!
“In Seattle, it was liberals who expanded the concept of “charities” to include arts organizations.”
I thought that was so the “artists” who polish driftwood and mount them on a stand could scam a few bucks from the suckers ....
I remember when Bill Bradley was a serious contender for the Dem presidential ticket. His income was reported as somewhere over a quarter mil, and he had donated like $1000 to charity. All of his compassionate rhetoric really fell flat for me then.
