Time: Geldof and Bush: Diary From the Road

[tuvor]

George W. Bush and Bob Geldof aboard Air Force One en route to Ghana, Africa, Feb. 19, 2008

I gave the President my book. He raised an eyebrow. "Who wrote this for ya, Geldof?" he said without looking up from the cover. Very dry. "Who will you get to read it for you, Mr. President?" I replied. No response.

The Most Powerful Man in the World studied the front cover. Geldof in Africa — " 'The international best seller.' You write that bit yourself?"

"That's right. It's called marketing. Something you obviously have no clue about or else I wouldn't have to be here telling people your Africa story."

It is some story. And I have always wondered why it was never told properly to the American people, who were paying for it....

2. How apropos that a rat reference would be in a thread with a picture of Bush.

Full marks, lad.
