TALKING POINTS MEMO'S JOSH MARSHALL on the Washington Post story about the immense cost of President Obama's coming trip to Africa: "Wapo has story on the immense costs of taking black presidents on trips to Africa." Marshall obviously didn't read the tenth paragraph (unless he thinks Bill Clinton and George W. Bush are black):

Former presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush also made trips to multiple African nations involving similarly laborious preparations. Bush went in 2003 and 2008, bringing his wife on both occasions. Bush’s two daughters went along on the earlier trip, which included a safari at a game preserve on the Botswana-South Africa border.

Charlie Martin [PJ Tatler] calls him out: "Some idiot has a notion WaPo is emphasizing *black* Presidents."
