$50,000 for Italian earthquake aid. It could also be the down payment on a Ferrari. But who would take our credit? $50,000 dollars? We’re ponying up $50,000 for our long-time allies? The munificence of it all just begs for comment:
1. That’s not even a down payment on a 2009 Ferrari 599 (manufacturer’s suggested retail price $320,580)
2. Maybe they could also toss in some DVDs and a couple iPods.
3. If Italy accepts their bailout money, will Obama have the power to remove Berlusconi? (thanks to Jonah Goldberg at National Review).
