Bono's being introduced by Sen. John McCain right now

 

[U2_Jackie]

"Senator John McCain is introducing Bono: 'Bono actually reads the IMF reports!'."

 

[U2_Jackie]

"Bono and his allies have achieved transformation of leaders...his work is about justice" says McCain."

 

[U2_Jackie]

Bono: You might not think of John McCain as an activist for the world's poor, but he is. Cindy, too.

"Bono is up on stage and people with significant titles are melting...it is hilarious. Groupies!!!"

Bono: "america has a stake in extreme poverty."

Bono's nickname for Clinton - "that cat Billy Clinton from Arkansas."

Bono: All of us have a stake in this word "#america". It is not just a country, it is an idea. A contagious thought.

Bono: equality and justice for all is a catchy melody!

Bono preaching development as an "equal but separate partner" to the military.
