(Telegraph) Bob Geldof has reportedly warned a top recording artist not to publicly criticise the White House during the worldwide television broadcast of the Live 8 concerts next month.
The warning came after Geldof insisted that President George W Bush had done more for Africa than any other American leader.
The manager of the singer was quoted as having been told: "Please remember, absolutely no ranting and raving about Bush or Blair and the Iraq war. We want to bring Bush in, not run him away."

Bob Geldof is a complete and total moron. He isn't worthy of cleaning the toe cheese from Vedder's feet (that is if Ed has toe cheese). He is a one-hit wonder buffoon who lost his plastic groupie wife to a tool who died spanking it with a noose around his neck. At least Kurt Cobain got shot, Hutchence died SPANKING IT! Bob Geldof should help Africa by going there and killing himself, I bet there's an Ethiopian or two who would cook and eat his useless carcass.
