HAHA - "Clinton's Shadow Follows Bush in Africa"
This made me laugh because it illustrates what a little man Bush is.

They should retitle the story, "Little Bush Obscured In Shadow Of Great Predecessor."

Clinton's Shadow Follows Bush in Africa
Fri Jul 11, 9:15 PM ET

By DARLENE SUPERVILLE, Associated Press Writer

ENTEBBE, UGANDA - President Bush is thousands of miles away from Washington, yet even here, he cannot escape the long shadow of his predecessor.

A room at the Imperial Botanical Beach Hotel here along the shores of Lake Victoria was renamed the Clinton Imperial Suite after President Clinton stayed in it on a visit to Uganda during his 1998 tour of sub-Saharan Africa.

Reporters who accompanied Bush to the hotel Friday for his private meeting with Uganda's president Yoweri Museveni and tour of an AIDS support center filed their stories and sound bites from the nearby Clinton Pavilion.

And after Bush lands in Nigeria late Friday, the final stop on five-day tour of sub-Saharan Africa, his black limousine and the rest of his motorcade will whiz down Bill Clinton highway en route to the hotel where he is to spend the night.

The rest of the story is here.

2. Yes, you little maniac dictator...
this is what people do when they LIKE you. They name things after you. and you, in turn, don't have to pen them up like criminals or animals when you are in the area because you aren't afraid of them.

It will never happen to you "Our Glorious Leader" you can compell obedience but you don't realize that you can command neither respect nor love.

3. Was this reported anywhere else?
That is quite an interesting story. Did any one else mention this in their voluminous reporting about * in Africa?
