George the First & Bill

George W. Bush is a very good at "misunderestimating" the importance of something the American people care about and then jumping on the bandwagon, grabbing the baton and pretending to be the maestro.

The spontaneous generosity of Americans in the wake of the Asian Tsunami manifested itself in a multitude of ways within hours of the tragedy. Donation money has been rolling in, facilitated by the use of the Internet. So George has now announced that he has arranged for his father and Bill Clinton to jointly lead an effort to encourage Americans to contribute.
