Ricky Martin, Bush In Same Room. Awkward.

This year’s meeting of the Inter-American Development Bank in Miami featured a meeting of great minds, pelvises and George Bush. The President joined Bill Gates, Ricky Martin, President Felipe Calderon of Mexico and President Luiz da Silva of Brazil to discuss what causes were worth throwing a lot of money at in Latin America:

The meeting comes as the Washington-based bank funded by governments shifts its focus under new leadership. The IDB now seeks to boost the role of business and philanthropy to help develop economies in Latin America and the Caribbean.

The IDB features 47 countries as members, with 26 nations that borrow its funds. In 2007, the bank approved $9 billion in new financing, the largest volume since 1999. It long has ranked as the top source of multilateral finance for the Latin American region.

Wait. No mention of sex tapes? No tales of Hugo Chavez doing cartwheels in the middle of the room while saying something awesomely quotable? No marginally-associated, non-famous person coming out of the woodwork to say she once maybe saw Heath Ledger possibly sniffing glue with an Olsen or maybe it was Haley Joel Osment? Boring post. Who cares?
