First Rappin' Rove Now This

Bush is in Africa to talk about AIDS funding. He stopped off to get some dancing in with a West African band. This hurts me to even say but Bush was dancing like a crazy man. He even took a turn on drums. CNN anchors turned into Jon Stewart and made the tape room replay the thing because they couldn't stop laughing. It was quite funny but one can't help but get a little twinge in one's gut thinking about the AIDS epidemic in much of Africa. While Bush dances away the US gives criminally little to help people with the disease and, what's more, the US is one of the major advocates of drug patents that keep much needed drugs expensive and out of reach of most Africans. Maybe Al Gore's environmental crusade helps ease his conscious over his key role in helping the big drug companies get these exclusive rights to drugs.
