Wow! He deserves a standing O. :) Love the slap at the previous leader as well. “That was the schtick of the previous leader.” hehehe.
That’s too bad. Speaking with Bono would have validated his existence.
Wow. This guy has... Oh my God, what did we used to call them, back in the day.... oh, yeah... PRIORITIES!!
I think Bono is an example of an actual, well-intentioned liberal. The guy really does mean well. He is talented, and giving of his time and money, regardless of what appears to be an enormous ego. He is just simply an idiot when it comes to politics and economics.
Aaargh!
I suspect that a lot of liberal politicians just want to meet celebs for their own self rather than for what the celebs have to say..........
“Irish” rockstar? Shouldn’t he be called Irish-Dutch immigrant? He moved to shelter his income.
Nice of him to ask other nations to wave debt.
When Bonovia has an embassy here, an ambassador, a foriegn minister, or other international diplomatic channel, he can schedule a meeting. If he’s an aging rockstar who fancies himself an international power broker, he can go pound sand.
A thousand yucks and a few sniggers thrown in for good measure.
O CANADA!
You just have to love Stephen Harper, he has the sharpest wit on the world stage!
BTW, CNN’s reporter at the G-8, Ed Henry was bemoaning the fact that.....get this...that the Bush/Putin fuss was OVERSHADOWING BONO AND HIS ISSUE!!!
The reporter really, really, did say that.
Please everyone, I beg you, destroy CNN.
Was probably thinking to himself, “Bono went with the FORMER Treasury Secretary to Africa, and look what happened to that guy!”
“Can Bono vote for me? Will he encourage people to vote for me? Then why should I waste my time?”
He seems like such a frightful bore.

Harper, a somewhat wooden figure of a man, regularly mocked for his lack of flair......
In some people's view, a person who is solidly conservative does not often, if at all, provide delicious hints of scandal. They do not act flamboyantly to give the press (such as it is) their chance to either elevate him or seize a moment to destroy.
Bono, said of Prime Minister Martin (Liberal) first. "I am going to be a pain in the butt, if he does not.....etc". This is in reference to foreign aid. When the then Prime Minister Martin did not seem to conform to his "instructions", Bono then said.
I am going to kick his butt.
I will use an old English Yorkshire phrase, which I am not entitled to. This on Prime Minister Harper.
Gradely lad.
