What the article doesn't mention, but what I heard on the BBC last night was that Senator Frist tried to get her to shut up and sit down several times. She bulldozed right over him. It was lovely.

I will go and rent every one of her movies this weekend.

''I'd like to offer $10,000 to help you buy some bed nets today,'' Stone told Tanzanian President Benjamin William Mkapa, who was on the panel along with Microsoft founder Bill Gates and others.

Stone then implored others in the hall -- packed with several hundred well-heeled executives and political leaders attending the World Economic Forum -- to reach into their pockets.

Immediately, an unidentified man promised $50,000.

Around 30 others quickly followed, and within five minutes, Stone had raised $1 million, said Sen. Bill Frist, the Senate leader who moderated the panel discussion on how rich nations can best fund the war on poverty.</snip>
