We’ve read numerous pieces of research over the years showing that conservatives give more to charity than liberals. Andy Rooney seems to confirm it.

Don’t bother asking 60 Minutes’ Andy Rooney for anything for your school, church or charity. He won’t give it to you. But since the octogenarian curmudgeon is a good liberal, we assume he’d be ok with the government taking something from everyone else.
By the way, nice time of year to clarify your lack of charity, Andy.

It’s not something his liberal critics want to talk about, but Rush Limbaugh is a very generous man. He just donated $500,000 to the House Ear Institute in Los Angeles.
It’s not something his liberal critics want to talk about, but Rush Limbaugh is a very generous man. He just donated $500,000 to the House Ear Institute in Los Angeles.
The gift was given in memory of Antonio De la Cruz, M.D., who passed away recently as a result of complications from lymphoma.
Dr. De la Cruz and another House Clinic physician diagnosed Limbaugh with auto-immune inner ear disease (AIED) and eventually performed cochlear implant surgery to restore his hearing.
“Dr. De la Cruz literally saved my career and got me my life back with that surgery,” Limbaugh said. “I wouldn’t have been able to continue my career. For a month before I had the implant surgery, I did my show totally deaf.”
This donation, of course, is on top of the hundreds of thousands of dollars the king of talk gives to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society each year.
So in the end, it turns out that Limbaugh may be deaf, but his critics are the ones who refuse to hear the truth.

He said “we in the financial products unit have been betrayed by A.I.G. and are being unfairly persecuted by elected officials.”
“I take this action after 11 years of dedicated, honorable service to A.I.G. I can no longer effectively perform my duties in this dysfunctional environment, nor am I being paid to do so. Like you, I was asked to work for an annual salary of $1, and I agreed out of a sense of duty to the company and to the public officials who have come to its aid. Having now been let down by both, I can no longer justify spending 10, 12, 14 hours a day away from my family for the benefit of those who have let me down.”
He continued:
“We have worked 12 long months under these contracts and now deserve to be paid as promised. None of us should be cheated of our payments any more than a plumber should be cheated after he has fixed the pipes but a careless electrician causes a fire that burns down the house.”
But the part we loved most was when DeSantis said he would not return his $742,006.40 bonus. Instead, he said he’ll donate ever after-tax dollar to charity because he doesn’t “want to see them disappear back into the obscurity of A.I.G.’s or the federal government’s budget.”
When Jack is making those charitable donations, we hope he remembers the IHateTheMedia.com Fund for Undercapitalized Bloggers.
It’s for the children.
