Just another Limousine Liberal. Live to the right talk to the left. A pretentious fop. 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.

And, here is the real kicker: David Bowie claims his legal residence in Ireland, because in that country -- Bono's native land -- there is NO income tax on money earned from residuals and royalities. So, Bowie and Bono and all the rest of them keep EVERYTHING. How's that? Pretty fair, huh? The working American should be taxed to pay for foreign aid, but, don't suggest that an Irish resident / rock star pay a dime. Yep, that's "fair"!
