******************************

Oh dear lord in heaven, please don't let that idiot Santorum go on and on about how only private Charities can deal with disasters. And please, please, please let certain Dem Senators show up and question the motives of the dofus Santorum. Please!

I just don't trust The Perfect Catholic to carry this out. And I hope Kerry attends and asks the obvious questions about public policy versus private charity.

1. he sure is a

useful idiot, though, isn't he?

Bush says jump, and man-on-dog asks, how high?

2. The last two experts would probably address

that as well. I hope Kerry does ask the questions you refer to. He is uniquely positioned to say that asking the government to do it's job doesn't diminish the role of philanthropy -
