Looks like all those years of performing for Democratic candidates has paid off: President Obama is tapping rocker Jon Bon Jovi to serve on a new presidential advisory council.
The White House announced Tuesday that Bon Jovi (or is it just Jovi?) will join the new 25-member White House Council for Community Solutions, a panel established to provide advice on "the best ways to mobilize citizens, nonprofits, businesses and government to work more effectively together to solve specific community needs."(continued)

Singing in a rock band is credentials for a national advisory group? Just “shut up and sing” Bon Jovi.

A picture of Jon Bon Jovi shortly before he was picked up by an enamored Eddie Murphey. (with a nod to Triumph the Insult Comic Dog)

One thing is for sure. Obama is putting a lot of satire writers out of business.

"Community Needs" = Git me re-elected or create chaos if I don't.
Chump! I guess Bono was too busy. What the hell does Bon Jovi know about the world of governance? Hiring Bon Jovi's business manager would make at least a little more sense. I liken it to hiring Mickey Mouse to be a teacher of drawing people. Bon Jovi as he's marketed is a non person. He's an act on stagee.

Just think about the meetings which produced these kind of ideas? Pretty hysterical on face, but really sad when you’re done laughing.
