Top Ten George W. Bush Charitable Contributions


After the scrutiny into the Clintons' charitable giving, we were naturally interested in what Bush's post-presidential giving might be like. Thanks to super top secret psychic accounting, we can give you a sneak peak into the 2009 tax return and his charitable deductions:

 10) $10, Yale. (How does that damn alumni association keep finding him????)

9)  $30 to Heckuva Job Foundation, devoted to trying to find jobs for Bush appointees with no skills.

 8) $12.75, Girl Scouts. (You can write the Thin Mints off, right?)

 7) $35 to group hoping to salvage wreckage of Oceanic Flight 815

 6) $100 to the Texas Rangers, who are like a charity at this point

 5) 50 cents Jenna gave to saxophonist in DC Metro

 4) $25 to the Barbara Bush Foundation, dedicated to helping resettle Katrina victims who have been overwhelmed by the hospitality of Texas.

 3) $50 to George W. Bush Presidential Library, in exchange for political favors

 2) $100 to that poor Nigerian guy that keeps e-mailing him

 1) TEN charities? Who do you think he is, Gandhi?

 It's a grand total of almost $369, or, in a year in which he made $15 million for "consulting" and "speaking" fees, .000025% of his income. Pretty damn good, if he does say so himself.
