Operation Smile?

I know this is beneath me, but.... There's this big foofarah among Republicans because Jessica Simpson turned down an invitation to "meet" with George Bush at a Republican fundraiser. Probably a reasonable decision considering her "fan base" is young, and they hate George Bush at an even higher rate than the general population.

But what jumped out at me was her reasoning, she was afraid that engaging politically with Bush might hurt her pet charity. And what is that pet charity? Feed the world? Stop landmines?
The blond star of the film "The Dukes of Hazzard" still plans to visit Washington on Thursday to lobby members of Congress on behalf of Operation Smile, a non-profit venture offering free plastic surgery for disadvantaged children overseas with facial deformities.

Does anybody else see the humor here that Jessica Simpson's pet charity is to supply plastic surgery to the underprivileged?

Okay, sorry. I just couldn't resist it. And now, back to normal programming.
