Geldof on Bush

Dear Bob Geldof,

I'm reading this piece on Bush's aid to Africa and was especially stuck by this excerpt.

Mr. Geldof praised Mr. Bush for his work in delivering billions to fight disease and poverty in Africa, and blasted the U.S. press for ignoring the achievement.

Mr. Bush, said Mr. Geldof, "has done more than any other president so far."

"This is the triumph of American policy really," he said. "It was probably unexpected of the man. It was expected of the nation, but not of the man, but both rose to the occasion."

"What's in it for [Mr. Bush]? Absolutely nothing," Mr. Geldof said.

Mr. Geldof said that the president has failed "to articulate this to Americans" but said he is also "pissed off" at the press for their failure to report on this good news story.

"You guys didn't pay attention," Geldof said to a group of reporters from all the major newspapers.

Look here you little twerp. You don't know the George Bush that we know. The George Bush who's wiretapping the phones of his enemies, arresting them and throwing them in a prisoner of war camp in Gitmo; the Bush who's intent on starving children and puppies to death; the Bush who wants to turn the world into a global warming inferno.

We've been paying attention all right, but we've been watching the important things; like watching Karl Rove eat lunch with a Hitler youth group.

So you have no idea who you're talking about. It's because of our keen knowledge and intellect that allows us to see the real George Bush and his neo con attempts to rule the world.

You're an idiot.

Sincerely,

The American News Media
