Posted by Ranae on 9/4/2005, 8:40 am Celine Dion's Sept. 3, 2005 appearance on Larry King's "live" Katrina "help" show. Celine Dion appeared via satellite on the show after pledging $1 million. Diminishing her gift, Dion said fresh drinking water is more meaningful than her cash and issued stinging criticism of the federal response. "There's people still there waiting to be rescued. To me that is not acceptable," she yelled. "I know they have reasons for it. But I don't want to hear those reasons. ... How can it be so easy to send planes in another country to kill everybody in a second and destroy lives. We need to serve our country." And former President Bill Clinton called the show to express his faith in the country's generosity. "They are always there when you need them," Clinton said. "They're always there. The rich are, the poor are, the middle-class are. We're coming forward." (and there for the the rest of the world in need) God Bless All! Ranae
The Canadian Celine Dion apparently thinks a big donation gives her the right to insult and disrespect the country which she used to make herself a well-known, wealthy star (and continues to). Dion never mentioned the 40,000 troops in the area of the the hurricane's devastation while she was ranting, raving and crtisizing like an uneducated, ill-informed Canadian citizen. Celine Dion should stick to singing, smiling, while making millions and selling perfume, instead of commenting on politics.
