Ah, the Clinton years. How I miss them.
The brief on this one is that Bush still hasn't made any kind of official statement about the tsunami. Clinton has talked about it on the BBC. German Chancellor Gerhard Shroeder cut his vacation short and returned to work in Berlin to co-ordinate Germany's response. Bush is still in Crawford, TX. He spent Tuesday clearing brush and riding his bike.
May he fall off and break his neck.
Update: Apparently Bush has telephoned his support to various national leaders. This NY Times Editorial, entitled 'Are We Stingy? Yes', still criticises Bush for the 'miserly drop in the bucket' of $35m and points out that US promises of aid often fail actually to materialise.
Also. Go here: http://donate.ifrc.org/ I just did. I don't need that other DVD and neither do you.
Update the Second: Apparently Paul Martin is also still on holiday.
