XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX SUN JUNE 19, 2003 19:25:02 ET XXXXX GELDOF ORDERS NO BUSH BASHING AT 'LIVE 8': IRAQ WAR, GLOBAL WARMING RANTING OFF LIMITS**Exclusive**LIVE 8 founder Bob Geldof is determined to see his international concerts stay focused on the plight of Africa's poor -- and not fall into cliched Bush bashing and global warming rhetoric! Geldof has ordered show organizers and producers to redouble all efforts to keep LIVE 8 performers "on message" during the July 2 event, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned."Please remember, absolutely no ranting and raving about Bush or Blair and the Iraq war, this is not why you have been invited to appear," Geldoff said to the manager of a top recording artist, who asked not to be identified. "We want to bring Mr. Bush in, not run him away."[Geldof tells next week's TIME magazine how Bush "has actually done more than any American President for Africa."] "Bob wants no attention on global warming, or the war," the manager warns, "He is very determined, he does not want to lose control of the message... But we have the most unpopular American president since Nixon, soldiers are dying... you are going to see some righteous anger on stage." LIVE 8 will be a series of free international concerts with unprecedented star power. Will Smith is host of a hip-hop-heavy show in Philly with 50 Cent and P Diddy headlining; Pink Floyd and the Sex Pistols will reunite in London on the same bill as U2, Coldplay, Keane, Madonna, Elton John, Mariah Carey, Sting and Paul McCartney. Concerts will also be held in Paris, Berlin and Rome.BBC and AOL plan live broadcast and streaming worldwide. [FOOTNOTE: U2's Bono has been attacked by his rock peers for associating with Bush and Blair. Fellow Irish star Sinead O'Connor says, "I think you risk losing your credibility by going to a party at Downing Street. I would draw a line at drinking wine and eating cheese with the Prime Minister."] Developing... -----------------------------------------------------------Filed By Matt Drudge
Good luck, telling Moby and others to "hush" pal. Trust me, Bob, helping our fellow man is great. We just think giving money to the corrupt regimes does no good. Give it to charities and private groups, and let them get the money over there that way. I trust not the deep pockets of Robert Mugabe or the current dictators in Central Africa.
Who thinks this decree stands a chance in hell of lasting?
I do not.
Care to comment on why Hollyweird and the musicians WILL NOT honor the no-Bush bash and no-Blair bash decrees?
Anyone, anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

Most unpopular my ass! Carter sucked. Andrew Johnson had the lowest EVER. These lefties need to get their part factoids correct.
If Nixon was sooooo unpopular, how come people still toast his work to get China back into civilization? How about getting us out of Nam, while attempting some honor? Backing Israel, hello?
Nixon, got a STATE FUNERAL, something that a crappy president usually does not merit.
