Sandra Bullock Donates $1 Million to Tsunami Relief

bullock6.jpgOk, say what you want about how rich she is and all that jazz... but a million dollars is still a million dollars. This lady just jumped about 5 notches up my personal respect ladder. Here's what the USA Today had to say:

Bullock, whose screen credits include Miss Congeniality,While You Were Sleeping and Speed, contacted the American Red Cross last week, the organization said Monday. She also donated $1 million after the Sept. 11 terror attacks.

"At this critical time, I am grateful to Sandra Bullock for once again demonstrating her leadership, compassion and belief in our global humanitarian mission," said American Red Cross President and Chief Executive Officer Marsha Evans in a statement. "Sandra continues to enable our lifesaving work and is a model for personal generosity."

That a good word he used: "Leadership". I'm certainly not the biggest Bullock movie fan in the world, but I do admire the leadership she is showing. Here's hoping more of us can follow her lead. Good on ya Sandra.

Good for her.

Meanwhile, our President has to recruit his dad and Clinton to show the world he isn't so callous.

But, frankly, I'm not sure I can blame him -- he blew our funds on Iraq already. Guess who's gonna have to foot the bill for the relief funds, my fellow Americans?
