[bigbrother05]

:rofl:

Why not? Int'l cred and out of the box.

At least SP is out of the headlines

[Syrinx]

1. mods: perhaps this could be merged with the Springsteen post

Two slots down on the latest page.

10. not sure it was planned on their part

but all the SoS speculation has dominated the news cycle and puts the Obama Transition back front and center in a more positive way. Discussing the strengths of a range of Dem leaders sure beats the Rahm stories and Palin/RGC fluff.

2. I always envisioned Bono doing work in the Senate

Look at his ability to reach across the aisle!

[Syrinx]

3. what was that all about?

Bono seems like a good guy. Why on earth would he think Jesse Helms was a good guy?

[grantcart]

5. he was able to get Helms to go along with large US support of aids

medicine in Africa

[Syrinx]

13. I had forgot about that

Do you have to be an American citizen to be an American diplomat?

I'm thinking "yeah," but maybe that's a shame. :D

[Double T]

14. Bono is willing to work with BOTH sides of the aisle, which is the........

ONLY way SHT is going to get done.

[bigbrother05]

15. maybe Bono isn't such a bad idea

[vanderBeth]

4. What an odd photo.

[JVS]

7. Bono's dedication to humanitarian work is so strong that it has made him some strange bedfellows.

[vanderBeth]

11. Helms just wanted to meet Bono.

Look how psyched he is. Who wouldn't be?

[JVS]

12. I think it might also be his dementia setting in.

Perhaps he thought he was meeting a real cowboy.

[bigbrother05]

6. Doesn't meet the residency or citizenship requirements

But obviously willing to deal with not only our friends in the world, but dregs as well

[JVS]

8. I guess you're right. Maybe he does have what it takes for diplomacy if he can stomach Helms for...

the common good once in a while.

9. Screw that - Bono was born to be FCC head!

Welcome to Zoo TV

[davidpdx]

16. Are you talking about this Boner?

[mrmx9]

17. Is Bono being lined up for Hillary's Senate seat - just need to sort out his passport!!

[davidpdx]

18. Dude, you missed the joke

thanks for screwing it up.

[V4Edwards]

19. Sonny, say it ain't so

Oh no, not Bono! With his ghost in the cabinet, next thing you know, Cher will want to be Secretary of State!

(I know you are all groaning now - yes it's a very lame joke - but I had to do it)

[MaineDem]

20. The King of Ireland?

:evilgrin:

According to Tina Fey's Sarah.

[DesertRat]

[Catshrink]
