Jeb said that he gave $20.00 to the red cross at the FSU game

[democrat in Tallahassee]

last night and he hoped everyone else did, too. Also said he was a Miami Hurricanes fan. How do you Canes feel about having such an honor bestowed upon you?

[bookman]

1. Cheap bastard. n/t

[MojoXN]

2. OOOH! A whole TWENTY DOLLARS??!!

Wow, now I know why I'm not rich. I have too much compassion for my fellow man! I guess you have to be a cheap, heartless prick to get rich nowadays.

[MaineDem]

3. What about those poor evacuees at the hotel in Tallahassee?

Did the hotels really kick them out for the football fans?

[quiet.american]

4. It boggles the mind. Truly boggles. n/t

[malta blue]

5. Gee...my poor sorry single parent ass has given more than

[Bob3]

6. don't knock yourself out there Jeb

You know - don't wanna bust your budget for the week do you?

Sweet Jesus these people make me insane.

[Wickerman]

7. $20.00 whole dollars?

well, stop the presses! Hell, stop the whole campaign, I guess they got all they need! That, my friends, is a compassionate Conservative.

Setting the bar a little low there, Jeb-boy. But, that would be intentional, eh?

[SammyWinstonJack]

8. Brother can you spare a dime?

What a cheap bastard! :argh:

[seito]

9. Way to lead by example

:eyes:

[xxqqqzme]

10. Well, we really over did it!

We delivered over $120 worth of formula, tampons, toothbrushes, bar soap, toothpaste, & diapers to the OC Veterans for Peace going 2 Covington.

[Burried News]

11. He must have had a few beers in him - was it a counterfeit 20?

[swimmernsecretsea]

12. And now the sofa cushions are clean.

Wonderful what those attachments on a vaccuum cleaner can find. Thanks, Jeb. Are you sure you don't need change?

[GreenPartyVoter]

13. *grrr* Freaking elitist so-and-so

14. I gave 10 times that much last weekend for disaster relief

And I'm unemployed. Still, I guess every little bit helps, and folks should give what they can -- just like we always do.

Is Jeb! bragging about his largesse? Or was it such a novel thing for him to do that he was just sort of amazed at himself for doing it?

[Rainscents]

15. OMG Jeb... spare me.

[Rainscents]

16. OMG Jeb... spare me.

[DoYouEverWonder]

17. Why is this family compleled to say these things

It's like they can't control themselves any more.

I've seen their aura and IT'S UGLY.

[bushisanidiot]

18. That's probably more than all of Freeptard land combined!

what a friggin' SAINT!

'course.. there's only 20 or so ACTUAL freeptards, so that's one whole american dollar each.

[brooklynite]

19. We gave $1,000 - - - LAST week

How nice he was able to get around to it.

[tamtam]

20. WOW

and the idiot had the nerve to tell people that he donated 20 bucks. Damn, was he proud of the fact or something?

[Joebert]

22. Somebody probably dropped that $20.00 or better...

His PR team made him do it.

[RandomKoolzip]

23. It's all becoming clear to me now.....

All my libertarian/republ;ican friends all say the same thing about federal government:

"They should stop forcing us to pay taxes to help out the poor, because most people are good hearted enough to volunteer money out of their own pockets should they feel the urge to help....but the government shouldn't FORCE us to pay taxes!"

Okay, now here's the rebuttal to that particular line of reasoning in a nutshell: The American super-rich are, for the most part, greedy elitist horaders who would rather work at Burger King 12 hours a day than have to pay a goddamn penny to those who really need it. Jeb Bush, thank you for unwittingly debunking a central tenet of conservatism.

I pay my taxes. Do you?

[OneBlueSky]

24. I'm on a fixed disability income, and I gave $250 . . .

no, I couldn't afford it . . . but I also couldn't afford NOT to contribute . . . what a cheap MF! . . .

[Contrary1]

25. I would be embarrassed to say that in public...

and I'm not even a multi-millionaire. Geez.

[louis-t]

26. Jebbie's so proud of himself...

This is the guy that stole $2.5 million from taxpayers in the Silverado Savings and Loan scandal. 20 bucks. Thanks a pantload Jeb.

[Nikki Stone 1]

27. WHAT IS IT WITH THIS FAMILY?????

????????????

[SeveneightyWhoa]

28. Um, to be fair..

How do we know that's all he gave? Perhaps he gave more earlier, to another charity?

Maybe he was just making a point (ie. getting everyone else to give at least $20)?

Wow.. I just defended a Bush. But seriously, folks.

[spanone]

29. I saw that little shit say that on tv. I bet he takes it off on his taxes

[FreedomAngel82]

30. $20?

:eyes: Oh yes he's such a contributor.

[Zynx]

31. I'm a college student after buying books I gave $175 and will give more.

Jeb has millions that motherfucker.

[AndreaCG]

32. I gave 10 to the can at my doorman's station

Plus 100 through an online drive. Plus I offered at work but they weren't sure where they were giving yet, and now I am on sick leave.
