I just think that at lease we can express our feelings for his pain, I believe people dont realize that with a joke on his behalf it just proves such insensitivity & it also causes others shouldnt think the correct way, not to be mishtatef betzar chveiro is quiet cruel & very hurtful!

My friends he is the 3rd richest person in the US (is a huge baal tzedakah, was born in Europe, is extremely pro israel, is anti a 2 state solution--Great guy all around)
He is worth in excess of $24 B. With a B. So if you had 25 Dollars and you lost 4 and it only you costs you 1 cent a month to live like a KING... Would you be crying ?

The National REPUBLICAN Congressional Committee has received $8 MILLION from Wachovia Bank.
Credit crunch? Unsecured loans impossible to find?
In the short term, this is effectively an $8 million donation to the NRCC from Wachovia at a time when Wachovia is supposedly in dire straits, about to be bought out by other banks, and will receive money from the government via the bailout.

He also gave $25 million to Yad Vashem, his stock LVS has fallen quite hard, he may have lost quite a bit more than $4 billion and his company is quite leveraged.
