Thank god they don’t care about a bunch of Africans. In this case, Tanzanians (I love that name, Tanzania):

I’ve been checking out these pictures from Bush’s Africa trip all week wanting to post them, but this find of RC2’s pushed me over the edge:

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.

I love that aging rocker!

Here’s RC2’s pick from Rwanda:

And I like this one, that he brought two Marines with him:

President George W. Bush and Mrs. Laura Bush pause for a moment of silence after laying a wreath on a mass grave at the genocide memorial Tuesday, Feb. 19, 2008, at the Kigali Memorial Centre in Kigali, Rwanda.

And I like the ones of little kids greeting them with flowers. I don’t think fancy-important Western countries bother doing that anymore.

The White House needs to figure out a better way to peruse their pictures, though, for these longer tours.
