The Australian - Tsunami aid ‘did not buy mansion’

Le Matin said the purchase of the 9.6million franc ($10.5million) villa in the exclusive Collonge-Bellerive district overlooking Lake Geneva was inappropriate while many in Indonesia, where 220,000 are dead and missing after the tsunamis, still needed help.

But Mr Thamrin said the purchase of the villa had already been agreed by the Finance Minister on October 12 and said the contract was signed shortly after, more than two months before the December 26 tsunamis.

Let’s close our eyes and imagine, for a moment, that John Bolton is confirmed by the senate, and is our NeoCon ambassador to the UN. The entire west coast of this country is wiped out by a Pacific Tsunami. Hundreds of thousands are dead. Hundreds of thousands are homeless. The people of the world, and the UN, unite and raise a billion dollars to help their American (hah) brothers and sisters. Bush gives Bolton a raise and he spends about 8 million bucks on a mansion on the beach in the Hamptons.

That’s all. You can open your eyes now.
