The Gift to Gaza

Hilliary Clinton, our much heralded Secretary of State, gave $900 million dollars to Gaza reconstruction on his first outing in her new job. Isn't that wonderful!

That's almost $2,200 each for the 410,000 or so folks living there. Remember how much those folks love us, too. I can still remember that large woman in a black Berka dancing and clapping in a Gaza street after they learned that the two World Trade Towers had been destroyed and 3,000 American had been killed.

Why in the hell are we giving these people $900 million dollars when we could have used that money to do something here at home like more bank bailout money for Barney Frank, or redo Chris Dodd's mortgage, or pay Charlie Rangel and Tom Daschle's taxes?

Have the wheels totally fallen off the lame brain Washington train? Giving money to the Palestinians is about as popular as running Heidi during the NCAA National Championship basketball game. And to be totally Barney Frank, I could use the $2,200 to help pay my taxes.

Where is the outrage? The Palestinian people need to rebuild their mud huts because Israel knocked the hell out of them because they wouldn't stop shooting little missiles into Israel.

Maybe we should have given them 410,000 shovels and 410,000 bags of good 'ole American cement. As long as the shovels didn't come in at $2,000 each, we would have done a better thing than giving them a turbo ton of much needed-at-home cash.

After all, they may create a truck bomb and kill more American Marines somewhere in the desert hood. Nice job Hillary. We can't wait for act II.
