Instead
of having aides spend a measly $5,000 of Romney campaign money on canned goods
at Wal-Mart to hand out to acolytes when they arrived at his "relief event”
in Ohio for the purpose of a photo opp of Romney accepting said acolytes'
"donations" then forming a link in the bucket brigade to load said
donations onto a truck, then said truck
rushing said canned goods to New Jersey (hopefully with a manual can opener)
and then Romney urging his acolytes and TV viewers to contribute generously to
the Red Cross for even more storm relief -- why didn't Romney tap his own vast
fortune and give generously of that to the Red Cross or telling his audience
that he would match their donations dollar for dollar? Wouldn't that have been
akin to the kind of "privatization" of emergency relief Romney touts
as being so much better than a federal agency like FEMA to manage natural and
national disasters?
