TOO, TOO FUNNY

From Lambert, of Atrios:
AFRICA NOTEBOOK: Ghosts of Clinton Haunt Bush Africa Tour

ENTEBBE, UGANDA (AP) - 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. (full story)
I second Lambert's "hee hee!"
