George Bush is still a douche.

So, if George Bush charges $100,000 to help a charity raise funds in excess of $1,000,000 (according to one interviewee) for their mission, he is somehow a douche? If they came out on top, what seems to be the problem? Do you know how many of these kinds of charities are out there? Is he supposed to work for free for the rest of his life?

Because he doesn't need the money, and in his position, and at his stage of life, it's infra dig. Ditto the Clintons for that matter to the extent they do this sort of thing.

George W. Bush is directly involved with something like 8 or 9 other charities, and how do you know that he doesn't need the money? What makes you qualified to make such a statement? How do you know that he doesn't give the bulk or even all of the money to charity?

It would be passing strange if he gave all his money to charity, and then charged charities to raise money for them, in order to give that money to other charities. Bush gets a big pension from being governor and POTUS, and writing a book and so forth. I don't think his daddy has ever done this sort of thing. He just wouldn't.
