Who’s reading whose lips now?

AP: President Bush has proposed a three-year, $5 billion program to provide aid for developing nations. Cause Bono told him to. We can but grin, shake our heads in disbelief and mumble ‘jaysus, it’s surreal, so it is’.

President Bush’s proposal is for 2004, and subject to congressional approval. He also urged development banks to drop half the African countries’ debts by making them grants, rather than loans.

  5. Bono is very smart…it was slow going w/the Bush administration ’til he dined with Condoleeza a couple of weeks ago. No woman is immune to the man’s charms, not even the National Security Advisor… 😉

  9. Isn’t that too much ironic? Bush making the ‘love and peace’ sign, with the hand. Oh dear… But Bono is great, as always.
