a failure of a different sort

GW, very upset at being called stingy (which he probably thought meant cheap) apropriately noted the US has decided to give more money than initially pledged to help with the Tsunami disaster. In fact, the US has pledged ALMOST as much money to help offset the 13.5 Billion dollars of damage not to mention the 100,000 plus estimated lost lives as is being spent on GW's inaugural celebration! HOORAY FOR AMERICA!!!! And those European bastards had the nerve to call us stingy!
