US vice-president's wife Jill Biden arrives at famine zone with two planes, a 29 car convoy and CNN
Wearing a linen trouser suit, neon-green Nike trainers and a CNN lapel-mic, Jill Biden sat in the shade of an acacia tree and listened solemnly to Fatuma Adem's story.

Wearing a linen trouser suit, neon-green Nike trainers and a CNN lapel-mic, Jill Biden sat in the shade of an acacia tree and listened solemnly to Fatuma Adem's story.
Watching the wife of the US vice-president touring the world's biggest refugee camp for famine-hit Somalis was a scrum of television cameramen, international reporters and Washington staffers thumbing their BlackBerrys.
A circle of secret-service agents, their oversized shirts flattened by the hot wind onto the outlines of bullet-proof vests and pistols beneath, fanned out, watching 'the perimeter'.
Parked off to the side, waiting to whisk the visitors back to the airport, was a convoy of 29 polished vehicles, including armoured US embassy Land Cruisers driven the eight hours up from Nairobi the day before.
This is what it looks like when the biggest VIP circus so far comes for a two-and-a-half-hour visit to Dadaab.

Interesting - Jill Biden is not wearing wedding rings in this photo.
It’s not exactly a cushy vacation like the type Moochelle takes.
...and wear “linen trouser suits, and neon-green Nike trainers.”
You can always tell a woman’s age by her hands.
Jill must be about 90 now!
I’m guessing that convoy was not loaded up with groceries?
that poor woman is all one color. It makes her look like somethng from a Mad Max movie.
And what’s the chain link doing in the background?
And thirdly, when are these chic excursions into the stylishly starving villages with women whose clothes and skin are all the same color going to end?
somalis always look very odd and strange to me because they have European features with very black skin.
Or maybe Europeans are just descendants of Somalis who have bleached out.
She must have wanted to blend in with the common folk.
Every starving kids in Africa film sequence has them all dressed this way.< /sarcasm >
and people ask why we are in such sad financial shape.
"I just saw some movie reels... or videotape I think they call it today... of my wife Jill over there in Somalio. Good for her. Helping those starving people sitting out there in the sun. They always film them in Africa in the daytime. Didja notice that? Can't really see them at all over there at night. You know... unless they smile or show the bottom of their feet or something...I'll probably get in trouble for saying that. Maybe. Hey, if they're starving what's with the giant bellies? They look pretty full to me! And their heads are freaking huge! They look like those bobbin head dolls... you know like they make for baseball players... big heads and big bellies... I got watch my diet too, or I'll look like those starving Somalios with my own big belly. My head's not huge like theirs though... I got a small head, guess I'm eating well. Does that make sense? Probably not... I don't know what I'm talking about..."
Can you imagine how hot those dark clothes are for Fatuma Adem?
“...movie reels...”
Boy, ‘dem talkin’ pitshur shows shur are gittin’ good deez dayz.
This guy is an embarrassment. My mother in law is 88. She lives with us. She can converse with the teenage grandchildren and understand their words and everything.
We’re rollin’ in dough, why shouldn’t she spend some? /s/
Why did they go to Somalia? Didn’t Moo-chelle say we had poor, famine suffering people in our very own “food deserts?” She and her entourage could have visited Detroit, Chicago or even LA!
So, we’re going to see more crying, starving kids covered with flies so we can go in and have some Blackhawks shot down.
When will Americans quit allowing ourselves to be manipulated into foreign concerns.
I’m pretty sure that was satire made up by dead...wasn’t it, dead? Never know because it is Bite Me.
Damn, They knew that there was something they forgot to bring.
I might have made up parts of that quote...
