How is it that people like Bono can be so talented... and yet so dumb?

Michael Savage really hit the nail on the head when he said that liberalism is truly a mental disorder.

I used to love U2’s music, but when Bono started acting like he was Jesus Christ and then began his pontificating around the world telling America and Western Europe that it should forgive all of the debt of poor African and Asian countries and fork over more money to them, they now make me gag.

I am tired of these idiots who have made hundreds of millions of dollars off of people like me who lecture me on the evils of capitalism and want me to surrender my country’s sovereignty and submit to the caliphate.

Shut the eff up, Bono. When you give away every dollar you have, you can tell me how to live.

I think they use up all their brain on their talents, vocation, etc., saving little for things pertaining to day to day matters revolving around things of life and the hereafter.

Well rounded people tend to make better “people”.

Eh, because hes not. Buying the label hype didn't make Bono talented. In fact, in an interview I had seen some years back, the musically talented members of the band were being interviewed. The band had already formed and was looking for a singer. They talent search was "extensive"...that is to say, they held a tryout at their high school. Of just the members of that school, he was only the fifth best singer (find any real vocalist and they will tell you how miserably unskilled Bono is). They couldn't decide who amongst the leading four should be hired and had some disagreements about it. One day the one who used to wear the flattop realized that what the band was missing and was needed in a front man was charisma. When he brought that to the bands attention they all agreed on Bono.

No real talent, just "charisma" and label hype.
