Why was Bono called to testify before Congress? He has no special expertise in Islam or the issue. He is one of 7 billion people on the planet.He is not a voice of the people. Perhaps there should be a congressional rule that every time one of these entertainment yahoos is called to testify before congress about something they know nothing about an ordinary citizen such as a plumber or bus driver should be called to testify beside him and give his opinion also. Also would help if the entertainment yahoo is an American citizen. Perhaps Bono might like to invite Syrian refugees to Ireland.
Because Congress loves using our money parading an endless stream of celebrities so they can mingle with the "beautiful people" and feel important.
After all, being in Congress is about having fun, enhancing their wealth and maintaining their high status at the country clubs. It's our duty as lowly subjects to just shut up and look on in awe at their collective greatness.
