For all you welfare hatas: U.S. charity scammers

You know, the second some "welfare queen" scams Uncle Sam out of a few thousand bucks, conservatives are all over it.  All welfare recipients are indicted.

Well, here you go, the nasty truth about the U.S. "charity business."  What say you, Christian conservatives who want to tear down the safety net and replace it with a network of charitable do-gooders who do just as good?  Does the exception prove the rule?  Does one really, really bad apple spoil the charitable bunch?

The Cancer Fund of America makes George Castanza's Human Fund look like Save the Children.

"But Obama [correction: Reagan] gives poor people free cell phones!" my low-information conservative interlocutor will protest hysterically.  (Sigh).
