Jan. 3: President Bush names former Presidents Bush and Clinton to head a private fund-raising drive to augment government relief to help tsunami victims.

Speaking of ex-presidents and PR....ya'll should check out Welcome to Mooseport. I watched it last week because I'm a huge Ray Ramano fan. It was pretty damn funny for a B movie.

just think about how presidential fundraising works.

People happily pay $5,000 a plate to eat lunch in the same room with a president.

They won't be able to charge that much to fund raise for this, but the same principle will certainly be in effect.

Exactly Voronwe. Also, this helps 'de' politicize an event that should have never been politicized in the first place.

Bring in Carter, Rosie O'Donnel, David Duke and dig up jessie Helms if they can help in this effort.

Also, Bill and George have strong ties in the private sector they can tap.

They should have gotten Michael Moore to help out. He'd be able to get the slackers to help and make a difference!

Sorry Winnow, no can do, theyre going after him first. Hes a strong suspect for causing the Tsunami after jumping in his pool.

I wonder if they color coordinate their ties.
