Let’s hear it for the Bush administration
From Eric Alterman reader Donald Kraus:
“Jesus, as quoted in the Gospel of Matthew (25:35, 40): “I was hungry, and you gave me food … just as you did it to one of the least of these … you did it to me.”
The Bush administration, as quoted in the NY Times (12/22/04, p. A3): “With the budget deficit growing and President Bush promising to reduce spending, the administration has told representatives of several charities that it was unable to honor some earlier promises and would have money to pay for food only in emergency situations.”
