NBC To Air Superstorm Sandy Telethon

by at .

NBC has scheduled a very special event for Friday night.

The network - along with affiliates Bravo, CNBC, E!, G4, MSNBC, Style, Syfy and USA - will telecast "Hurricane Sandy: Coming Together," a telethon hosted by Matt Lauer that will raise money for the American Red Cross's relief efforts across regions hit by the storm.

In a press release, NBC said "additional networks could join the broadcast of the telethon prior to airtime."

    The least we can do.

    Conceived under Bush? Why of course, along with the Holocaust, Gas Prices, Break up of the Beatles, JFK assassination and Solyndra. Your President walks the streets of Jersey with a look on his face like "I hope I don't track mud onto Airforce one". Romney has done more work in 15 minutes than this "21st Century mistake" has done since the Hurricane made landfall. Would it hurt if he just pretended like he gave a shit? This guy won't even her a Haircut till..... AFTER THE ELECTION! He Talks- then Talks some more. In the end- the same people that pay income tax- fund safety nets and are forced to participate in this Socialist Russian Obama" Health"care will once again do the heavy lifting while you disgruntled lifelong "Gay Marriage" activist continue to tell us what all is not right in the world.

    "The Bachelor? Kardashians? Democrats shows! Gays coming out again and again?" All projects of mass distraction conceived under President Bush. Gays like Rev. Ted, Senator Craig and [pastor] Joe Simpson lying to innocent women and ruining their lives. Shame be upon these hypocrits! Shame!

    Great story tonight about a large group of Baptist men from N Carolina carrying goods to set up and assist the Red Cross- Food, Water, Tents! All these Christian VOLUNTEERS! Amazing isnt it? I'm sure the MUSLUMS are just chomping at the bit to help? By the way- Where is George Clooney? Katy Perry in her Ballot Dress? How bought the Girls from the veiw- think they will pass out goods for the "Hurricane Homeless"? I'm sure Eva Longiria could ride by and give them a wave thru her moonroof Limo? Give the folks a little inspiration? That's the rich Dem's for you! Leave it to Romney to do the grunt work! Along with the Christian Southerners! While the Celebs stay useless!
