BRAD PITT WANTS STIMULUS MONEY - BY RADENA

Interjections are mine:

A rich and famous Hollywood actor who collects exorbitant paychecks per film could get millions of dollars in federal stimulus funds for a charity he created to “help lessen the burdens of government” by rebuilding homes in low-income neighborhoods. "Lesson the burden of government"! When will someone "lesson the burden" of the American taxpayer? I suppose the answer to that has something to do with flying pigs.)

Multi-millionaire Brad Pitt, who makes about $20 million a movie, has applied and will likely get, a substantial chunk of taxpayer money to expand his new nonprofit (Make It Right), which supposedly builds affordable “green” homes that are energy efficient for those who normally could not afford them. ($20 million a movie! So... wouldn't a real hero do this on his own dime? Or at least find some other way of funding his oh-so-charitable project without breaking the backs of taxpayers? Silly me!)

Although Pitt claims on the group’s income tax exempt form that its purpose is to help lessen the burdens of government by assisting in the rebuilding of communities, he still wants taxpayers to help fund the projects. The world-renowned movie star fully expects to get a piece of $65 million in stimulus funds administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development for the “neighborhood stabilization” of poverty-stricken areas.

Judicial Watch goes on to say that if it's up to Nancy Pelosi, Pitt will probably get the stimulus money. They say she "trembled like a schoolgirl" when he visited the Capitol to promote his charity, and they leave a link to Deadline USA, but You Tube has it too, of course. We didn't notice her "trembling like a schoolgirl" but we did hear her call Pitt a "Hero". Sorry, Nancy. We know what a real hero is and what a real hero does. Brad Pitt can only pretend to be a hero in films. In real life he doesn't even come close to cutting the mustard!
