Sorry but the in the hell are you talking about? I find it funny that we get critisized for not helping enough (even though we are basically running relief aid operations and even deployed a small military force there) by the same people who said "the rest of the worlds problems are not ours". Democrats seem to never be happy about anything..

Not sure how political affiliations tie into this...especially when both sides of that table are morons...but I get what Pat's saying. We got criticized early on because we pledged $15M in support. Some private companies were pledging twice that (Pfizer pledged $35M alone). Then we pledged $35M. That buys you 4 hours in Iraq. I think we're doing a great job now with the military, but I do agree with Pat in the sense that where the fuck were we all along when these people's lives were so shitty before? I'm also kind of pissed that most of the attention is focused on Thailand even though 2/3 of of the dead are in Sumatra...most likely because all of the white folks were on vacation in Phuket rather than Sumatra. And I can't be the only one sick of seeing that slut/supermodel Petra on TV after surviving that thing. Where's the profile of some 12 year old named Boontang (or whatever....but don't laugh, that's a Thai name) who survived the same ordeal? Surely the world is a better place because some dumbass supermodel was spared! Fucking pisses me off. A little OT at the end there, but aren't I always?
