Sometimes you gotta love the irony....

Hugh Hewitt pointed out that Cheney gave $6.87 million to charity this past year and wondered if any one came across that number anywhere in press accounts of the Cheneys' taxes.

But it reminded me of 1998 when Vice President Al Gore's charitable giving for the year came out and it was .....are you ready? $353.00.

Let's contrast and compare. $6.87 million to....$353.

But we Republicans don't care about the poor, right? Cheney eats babies, right? Al Gore loves the poor AND the earth. He hardly uses his private jet.

The reason I remembered what Al Gore gave that year was because I couldn't believe that we had given about 5 times what the Vice President of the United States had.

Selfish greedy rightwingers. Yeah
