The world is a better place with Nicholas Kristof in it.
In a postscript to his regular New York Times column on Tusday, Nicholas Kristof reveals that he has raised almost three-quarters of a million dollars from readers to send Fox News host Bill O’Reilly to troubled Darfur.
Kristof, embroiled in a public feud with O’Reilly, launced a pledge drive recently with this end in mind, and reports today that he has been “deluged by 6,675 pleges, averaging a bit more than $100.” The grand total comes to $727,568, “so Mr. O’Reilly will be able to fly first class with the very best satellite phones and fill his water bottles with San Pelegrino.”
Hey…If Bill won’t go, I’d like to volunteer. I’d leave school and become the roving fukn reporter!
