Geldof calls G8 summit 'a farce'

I consider any American politician giving the unelected, non-American Geldof, Bono, or their ilk the time of day with respect to foreign policy or the spending of American taxpayer's money a farce.

Get your unelected, non-American fingers out of my wallet, Sir Bob.

“I won’t have it spun as anything else ...”

Positively staggering delusions of grandeur.

[BenLurkin]

I agree. If these limousine liberal types want to give handouts then let them raise the money privately.

Asking government to confiscate hard earned dollars just so they can be pi$$ed away on useless "anti-poverty" programs is immoral.

[JZelle]

Does Geldof dodge his taxes like Bono?

[Spruce]

The ‘Dark Continent’ is almost as big a black hole for money as the Department of Education.

[dfwgator]

Earth to Bob: Only Africans can solve Africa’s problems.

[sgtbono2002]

Give Africa nothing until they get new leadership.

Sending anything to these criminals running these countries is a waste. The people who need it see such a small portion that it is only wasteful.

[Tulane]

Bob Geldorf is such a twit. At lease Bono gives credit to the US for contributing.

Hey Bob: NOBODY LIKES A WHINER!

[mylife]

Sir Bob is a pompous twit.

[KarlInOhio]

A third of an ounce of copper jacketed lead properly applied will do more to aid Zimbabwe than all the gold in the G-8.

[Liberty Valance]

A pompous, rich ankle biter is no way to go through life son.

Geldof’s last gig sold 45 seats out of a 12,000 seat arena in Italy. Quite funny:

How can Bob even consider tripe like this when Paris is in jail?

>Bob Geldof has condemned leaders of the G8 nations for coming up with a deal on Africa

Perhaps African
leaders can come up with a
solution to our

on-going problems
with Paris Hilton. They help
us, then we'll help them...

[Twink]

Well said.

[BenLurkin]

It’s a tragedy, a travesty and .. and .. and .. poor Paris...!

[Lizavetta]

As he stood next to Bono, who's been shifting his wealth to the Netherlands to avoid Irish taxes.

Whose the farce, Geldof?

[windcliff]

Nic pic of Paris.

[RightWhale]

G8 was for show. The deals were struck at Bilderburger last week.
