Here are my questions regarding Mr. Bono:

1. What is his highest level of education completed?

2. Will he be willing to bathe regularly if he is given this job?

Has the world gone insane? A musician to head up the World Bank. Now I've seen everything.

Carly Fiorina, who destroyed Lucent and HP. Bono, aging hippy-dippy rock star.

I get the feeling that the Bush administration doesn't like the World Bank very much...

This is a joke right?

If not, then fire Treasury Secretary Snow. (What is it with this position?)

Is John Snow a complete moron?
Bono is a Socialist and also someone who has no idea how the Financial Markets work and is completely unqualified to head the World Bank. Although as far as I am concerned the World Bank and the IMF do a lot more harm than good.
If it was up to Bono he would forgive every 3rd world countries debt and who knows what else.
Snow needs to go and has been a horrible Treasury Secretary.
Can't we replace him with Larry Kudlow?

He should start by lowering his concert prices so I have more money to donate to the poor.

Bono has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for international social justice efforts that include trying to persuade rich nations to relieve the debt of poor nations.

How is this related to peace? Instead of constantly putting the pressure on the United States to throw money to warlords, tyrants and corrupt a-holes, why doesn`t he put pressure on the warlords, tyrants and the a-holes to get their sh-t together? Oh but that`s too dangerous. Let`s see him go to Kim Jong Il and tell the "Emperor" to get his mini butt off his high horse and stop starving his people, or tell Castro to free his people and stop killing the ones who try to escape. Oh but that`s right, you can`t put any pressure on animals the left worships. "How dare Bush say Mr. Jong Il is in the axis of evil!"

If Bono wants to do any good as an entertainer, he should tell the left that infects his buisiness to stop supporting these animals. I mean how many people from Hollywood and the music biz have gone to Cuba now to worship Castro?? You could practically name just about anyone who is anyone in Hollywood. Speilberg, Nicholson, Kevin Costner, Robert Redford, Spike Lee, Sidney Pollack, Oliver Stone, Woody Harrelson, Danny Glover, Ed Asner, Shirley MacLaine, Alanis Morissette, Leonardo DiCaprio,even the freggin` dingbat models go over there to worship that animal, Kate Moss and that other cocaine junkie Naomi Cambell who declared "Castro was a source of inspiration to the world". Naomi Cambell who is a good friend of BONO!!!

He does a lot of good in this world of economic development," Snow said

Ah, how? By screaming at America to more & more & more? I don't recall hearing about Boner giving up HIS money. Or, am I wrong?

What the heck, I'll come out in favor of it. For one, seriously nominating Bono (or Carla) pretty much confirms to me that the position is useless. Second, either he will surprise me and do something good, or really mess up the world bank, and we can cut our participation in it.

Why not David Lee Roth? Or Sting? Or hell, I hear Barbara Streisand is a cheapskate, doesn't she qualify?

I mean, as long as we're considering brain-dead rock stars, let's keep an open mind to the wide field of candidates.

Personally I'd suggest Kurt Cobain. He's already dead and would likely do the least amount of damage.

The sad part is that Bono is NOT the least qualified person mentioned. (Carly Fiorina)

Peter McPherson is probably the most qualified of those mentioned.

Maybe the World Bank is trying to get U2 to play a concert on their roof?

Wait a minute.... this is actually a GREAT IDEA.

Get a liberal yapping idiot that doesn't know the diff between exchange rates and interest rates.... can't even explain a spread sheet... who has been spewing verbal sewage about "forgiving" debt and bad mouthing the US about policy... then make him RESPONSIBLE

he's a typical lib celebrity who shoots off his/her mouth but when they have to produce something that isn't scripted or written for them and then face the consequences of their actions... well guess what....boo frickin hoo.... that's why celebs tend to screw up in their personal lives.

In other words, call his bluff. Like giving the Palestinians their own "country" let them "run" it.

It really looks good to be the boss, until you're the boss and have to "make it work".
