I hate to see Bush pander to a phony character like this.

Actually, I think it's a politically savvy move on Bush's part. U2 has consistantly continued to be amongst the most popular bands for over twenty years. A lot of dumbasses take Bono's opinion seriously, and he is more popular with my generation(mid 20s)than Streisand, Rosie, the Baldwins, and all the lame ass Hollywood libs combined. If Bush is perceived to be a friend of Bono, it will probably gain him a few votes he might not have otherwise gotten.

Could cost him votes, too.
