Ari Fleischer: I'll Be Donating Less to Charity in 2013

What bothers me most about Fleischer’s comment is the utter selfishness & lack of empathy it shows. He’s very well off, yet rather than cutting back on some small personal luxury—e.g. buy less expensive bottles of wine, eat at less expensive restaurants, on the next family vacation fly coach instead of first class and stay at a 4-star hotel instead of a 5-star one, etc.—his first thought is to cut back on giving to those who are much less fortunate than him, those to whom charity can literally mean the difference between life & death.

But hey, if some sick kid has to go hungry or some family has to sleep in their car in the middle of winter so Ari Fucking Fleischer can maintain the level of luxury he’s accustomed to, so what?

The guy is indeed a major douchebag.
