Admin still doctoring the facts to look better
According to the White House, dynamic U2 frontman Bono is a huge fan. According to Bono, they're completely wrong.
The State Department: Bono, lead singer of the Irish band U2 and longtime activist for aid to Africa, echoed Geldof’s praise for President Bush as he told an American television interviewer June 26, “[Bush] has already doubled and tripled aid to Africa.
Bono: The most important and toughest nut is still President Bush. He feels he’s already doubled and tripled aid to Africa, which he started from far too low a place. He can stand there and say he paid at the office already. He shouldn’t because he’ll be left out of the history books. But it’s hard for him because of the expense of the war and the debts.
Is something not seriously, seriously wrong when an administration feels it necessary to cook up wildly inaccurate quotes by pop stars?
