It's really hard not to have "Jewish American Princess" flashing in your head when you read this article. It's things like this that undo all the work trying to erase stereotypes.
If you have that much money to waste, how about donating it to charity in your daughter's name? That would be a true "mitzvah", which in Hebrew means something akin to a good dead. That party sounds like anything but. Fleetwood Mac, Don Henley, 50 Cent, Tom Petty, Kenny G--all the artists that took money to play at this private affair--should all be ashamed of themselves.
The fact that the guy who paid for all this manufactures subpar armor for the military adds just another layer of shamefulness to the whole thing. These people should be tarred and feathered, at LEAST. Or dropped off in the middle of an Iraqi battlefied wearing the crap they make our troops risk their lives in.

Did you read any of the comments?
And isn't what the father did just "the American way?" People bitch about the money he made, and they bitch about the shoddy products he sold, but isn't whoever's buying the damned stuff for the military supposed to make sure the stuff is good quailty and fairly priced before giving him the contract? Where is your contempt for those people? If the quality of the product isn't up to par, it should never have been purchased in the first place. A shitload of people are making tons of money off this war.
I actually have no problem at all with what he chooses to do with his money (although I do think it's unfortunate his daughter had to have bad music at her party). How many of you defend Bono's use of his money? Shouldn't he put all his money where his mouth is?
