More than Just Tallying Bananas

I was over a Digby's, thanks for the link btw, looking through comments when I came acress this from "doghouse riley":

Harry Belafonte: WWII veteran, early civil rights activist, friend and personal bankroller of Martin Luther King Jr., goodwill ambassador for UNICEF, recipient of the National Medal of the Arts and the Peace Corps' Leader for Peace award; donates 20% of his income to the Belafonte Foundation of Music and Art, which helps disadvantaged African American youth study for a career in the arts.

Tim Russert: gasbag.

Timmah's charitable works are primarily comprised of:

(a) Whatever IMUS goads him into, particular the cause of putting sick children to work cleaning up after the horses;

(b) Whatever Tom Brokaw goads him into, including the Big Russ wing of the World War II memorial. Where Big Russ gets a memorial bigger than Ike or MacArthur, where he wears his corporal stripes over a Bills' T-Shirt.

(c) Luke Russert's broadcasting opportunities.
