"Dolly Parton is the latest recipient of Jeff Bezos’ Courage and Civility Award recipient.

“Jeff and I are so proud to share that we have a new Bezos Courage and Civility Award winner — a woman who gives with her heart and leads with love and compassion in every aspect of her work,” Bezos’ girlfriend, Lauren Sanchez, posted on Instagram alongside a video of their speech Friday before awarding the grant to the country music legend. “We can’t wait to see all the good that you’re going to do with this $100 million award, @DollyParton.”

2. Never heard of the award.

Not that Dolly is a bad choice, but Bezos could just pay his employees better wages.

[LisaM]

4. He could pay his taxes.

Dolly will do good with it, but I don't see why Bozo can't just pay a fairer tax rate.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

21. It's settled--he should pay his employees a living wage, pay a lot in taxes, and

then he can give out whatever awards he so desires. Of course, he can do that already, but right now he's doing it as a total fucking asshole.

3. She is an absolute saint.

Amazing person who’s led and amazing life and helped so many.

[SharonAnn]

8. We call her "Saint Dolly" here in Tennessee.

6. Fantastic! I can already see it going to good causes!

7. President Joe can give Dolly the Medal of Freedom Award.

She told Trump what he could do with it because she didn't want any recognition from that asshole.

(Not in so many words)

[TlalocW]

9. I'm sure she's going to use it for a good cause

But really... could anyone be mad if she decided to splurge a little on herself?

[Javaman]

10. She should take it all and donate it all in support of unions.

I’m sure bozos would love that

13. +1000

11. Why doesn't Jeff do good with $100 million himself?

Not that I don't think Dolly deserves it and will put it to good use but he could have been helping all this time.

[Tanuki]

14. He's probably embarrassed by all the good his ex-wife McKenzie is doing

with her share of the divorce settlement and is stepping up his game.

[SpankMe]

12. I still hate Bezos...

But, at least he's on our side of the political divide and puts his resources to good use quite often.

[SergeStorms]

15. Pretty soon the rabid-right...

will forget all about George Soros.

NAH! Soros has been #1 on their hate list so long they'll keep hating him after he's dead.

16. Way to go Dolly Parton!

[Samrob]

17. I can't stand Bezos but I salute him for this. Prefer him to Musk, tho.

[republianmushroom]

18. GOOD

[Hekate]

19. This is heart warming & well deserved, but my gods, you people...

[Bayard]

20. That's Dolly--Courage & Civility

Along with humor, intelligence, compassion, talent, and beauty.

No one deserves it more, and I'm sure she'll put it to good use.

[Duppers]

22. Indeed!

That's "our" Dolly.

[Dorian Gray]

23. There are few humans

I would trust more to do good with that money.

She's so truly deserving of this honor.

[Qutzupalotl]

24. Maybe she'll give it to Amazon warehouse employees.

[MissMillie]

25. Dolly seems very like-able to me

(I don't come right out and say "I like (so-and-so)." anymore. Been burned too many times.
