Guest post by Paul Baumbach Crossposted at Paul’s Progressive Postings This is from a friend of a friend of my sister.

We’ve already heard about the disgusting statements of Pat Robertson about the Haiti earthquake disaster. Rush Limbaugh also couldn’t help making an ass of himself about the Haiti crisis.
