maybe if you're a moron. I fail to see how completely misconstruing my statements and making absurd assumptions is nailing anything, but I guess that's why you two are partisan Democrats (with a capital D).

El, I genuinely apologize about the "Rush" part. In my saying "nailed it" the Rush thing wasn't the part of Shosh's comment I was applauding. Where I think she was dead on is this: at this particular moment, concerns about Haitian government corruption are all but irrelevant since their involvement in the immediate earthquake recovery efforts will be ancillary at best.

And the $100 million allocated by Obama? I strongly doubt most will end up pocketed by corrupt Haitians pols but, regardless, it is but dust compared to the hundreds of billions we've spent on Wall Street bailouts, the corrupt and kleptocratic regime in Afghanistan, corrupt war profiteers in Iraq and Afghanistan and so forth. I do not understand the undue focus on the relatively small funds for this earthquake relief, especially when tens of thousands of innocent souls are in peril at this very moment, and I do believe many of the folks focused on this are pedaling an agenda.

And, if you knew me at all, you would know that I am anything but a partisan Democrat.
