Ex-centerfold is unlikely savior for Haitian kids
So many other things Bush's war funds could buy other than death and destruction.



PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti - "Glassy-eyed and so thin his bones protrude through his skin, a newborn infant named only Rony stares up at a dirty ceiling hour after hour, frozen in his crib because of a softball-sized tumor on the back of his neck.

Then an hourglass-shaped, platinum-haired woman flashing a megawatt smile and wearing diamond earrings and designer blue jeans leans over his crib in the steamy hospital ward, locks her long arms around the child and gently pulls him toward her.

"They don't hold the children much here,'' says Susie Scott Krabacher, a former Playboy centerfold who over the last 15 years has become an unlikely patron savior for scores of abandoned Haitian babies.

Krabacher, 43, founded the Mercy and Sharing Foundation, an Aspen, Colo.-based charity that has provided shelter, schooling and health care to thousands of children from the poorest slums of this troubled Caribbean nation. The charity, funded mostly through private donors, runs six schools, three orphanages, an abandoned-baby ward and a cervical cancer screening center..."

3. Why unlikely? Us in the "industry" are people too.
Not that she's in the industry anymore, but I have met just as many kind and loving people in the industry as out of it.

4. Too bad she is, by definition, incapable of making her own decisions about anything.
She took her clothes off and let nude pictures of herself be taken for a Patriarchal Rape Manual Magazine for the implied, unauthorized sexual gratification of male oppressor types, and as such she is obviously mentally ill or addled or on drugs or otherwise incapable of "consenting" to the phallocratic exploitation she undoubtedly was coerced or forced into.

Oh, and :sarcasm:

BTW good for her. :thumbsup:
