Yes, he gave $10,000 of "his own money" to tsunami victims. Of course, He'll write it off, so its really $10,000 of our money, but hey, it's going to a good cause.

My take is that Karen Hughes is taking over from Unka Karl. After that brutal start, with Bush only giving $15 million and staying on vacation (surprise!), the White House must have realized how brutal a beating Bush was taking in public relations. Since then, things have been smooth. Seems like a Karen Hughers operation, to me. Very bad news for 2005. I'd prefer that Bush keeps on with Rove pounding on the wedge issues, since I think a backlash on that has to come. But if Hughes steps up, that won't happen. We'll see a lot more date rape bi-partisanship, and so on...
