What a jackass.
Both of them!
Yep, both of them.
That is too bad, because Bono’s speech at the prayer breakfast was actually quite good.
Before you all go mouthing off, just know that bono has repeatedly praised President Bush even wrote a book about all the good thing Bush has done for Africa and third world poverty.
He’s a smelly bitch.
When you hug Obama I will agree with your statement.
Humongous Carbon Footprint Blows Apart Bono, U2’s Dubious Environmental Concerns
During a nearly two week tour of Africa in May of 2002 by Bono (real name Paul David Hewson, the lead singer of the rock band U2) and then U.S. Treasury Secretary Paul O’Neill, Bono made a crack about the secretary saying he is, “the man in charge of America’s wallet…and I want to open that wallet.”
In other words the singing Irishman was saying the American taxpayers should be compelled to shovel even more of their hard earned money across the Atlantic ocean into the coffers of corrupt African government officials so the funds can be used to make the ruling elite even wealthier while the citizens of these countries continue to live in squalor. In fact Bono is famous for badgering governments, especially the U.S., into using their citizens’ tax dollars to fund ‘poor’ (read African) nations’ social programs and for all ‘wealthy’ governments to simply swallow hard and eat all the debt owed to them by these so called Third World countries.
(Before going any further here take about three minutes and read through this interesting piece.)
For those who didn’t know, back in 2006 Bono, along with the other members of his band who’s combined worth then was estimated to be somewhere north of 700 million dollars, decided to move a nice chunk of their business enterprise out of Ireland to the Netherlands for the sole purpose of saving a bundle on taxes.
