Cuffy Meigs sends this, saying it's pretty clear he's doing exactly what the rush transcript says he's doing. He's actually suggesting that he approached Rush, presumably, with the idea of scamming up a controversy... for the children.
And Rush was nice enough to go along with Harry Reid's idea.
Hey, Harry, why don't you kick in a million from those corrupt land-deals you used the power of your office to make profitable? That might be nice.
Since you care so much about the children and all.
Here's Rush announcing the winning bidder, Betty Casey.
Although I have to say I don't like how he takes credit for the donation himself.
Oh wait -- he actually is matching the bid dollar for dollar, so he's kicking in over $2.1 million, plus, of course, he thought of this and started it.
So I guess he has sightly more right to claim credit than Harry Reid.
