ABC: Bush Charged $100,000 to Vets Charity
NEW YORK -
Former President George W. Bush charged $100,000 to speak at a charity fundraiser for U.S. military veterans severely wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan, and former First Lady Laura Bush collected $50,000 to appear a year earlier, officials of the Texas-based Helping a Hero charity confirmed to ABC News.
And...
The former President was also provided with a private jet to travel to Houston at a cost of $20,000, the officials said.
One of the wounded vets who served on the charity’s board told ABC News he was outraged that his former commander in chief would charge any fee to speak on behalf of men and women he ordered into harm's way.
I thought we were done adding to the list of despicable things George W. Bush has done, but the hits keep coming.
We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

Can't blame the guy for being pissed. I guess we need a constant reminder that war creates opportunities to cash in for many while others pay the price.
