In reply to the discussion: Ari Fleischer Secretly Helped Guide Komen Strategy On Planned Parenthood [View all]MADem
(135,425 posts)46. I heard only TWENTY FOUR CENTS of every "Komen dollar" actually goes to "services" for women.
The rest is "overhead." Talk about a ripoff. Less than a fucking QUARTER of every dollar to the people who need the help--that's egregious.
This sentence cracked me up:
Fleischer did not specify the amount of his fee but said it would be substantially below the normal placement fee charged by executive search companies because theyre a charity I believe in.
No matter what that asshole's "fee" was, he was plainly OVERPAID! There's no walking back this pile of shit. They've revealed themselves as an agenda-laden, front operation for the right wing of the GOP. Pigs. No, I take that back--what an unfair slur against innocent pigs!

It's becoming more and more clear that Komen was involved in fraud, and not finding a cure.

Notice how 'charitable' Ari is. He didn't charge them full price. How generous of him.
