Donald Trump, Humanitarian, Philanthropist and Just a Swell Guy

This is almost surreal.

"Even a man who hadn't had such a great career shouldn't have this happen to them in their later years," Mr. Trump said in a statement released by his office. "I'm doing my best, but this is a very difficult situation."

Indeed, many people who haven't had great careers are in the same boat with the 85-year-old Mr. McMahon, the longtime sidekick to comedian Johnny Carson. Moody's Economy.com estimates that 1.65 million homes will be lost to foreclosures this year. Might Mr. Trump be able to help some of those other hardship cases?

"I really can't answer that for you," a spokeswoman for Mr. Trump said.


I find it heartwarming that a multi-billionaire is willing to come to the rescue of a multi-millionaire in his time of need. I hereby propose that the initial Grylliade Humanitarian Award be awarded to
The Donald

Do I have a second?

Can you really call a career great, when it's high point was being associated with a direct mail ad campaign that outsourced untold millions of American school children?

Re: Donald Trump, Humanitarian,

Actually, the proper term is "happysourcing" now. Keeps the plebes from seeing it coming.

Re: Donald Trump, an asshole, but were discussing Ed McMahon

I am still trying to figure out why Ed McMahon is broke.

Between the time on the Tonight Show and the direct mail campaign, he must have pulled down a fair chunk of change over the years.

Doesn't matter how much money you make; if you spend more than you have, you'll wind up broke.

Yeah, I know all about McCawber. But it still is astonishing to me how someone can blow that much.

Probably got addicted to sushi and started eating it more than once or twice a week. It adds up. That stuff is not cheap. Especially in the quantities needed to fill up an Ed McMahon.
