Bono to entertain as Clinton, Bush honored for fundraising

SURPRISE! Surprise! When George H.W. Bush, No. 41, and William Jefferson Clinton, No. 42, appear at Philadelphia's National Constitution Center tomorrow night, they'll find their friend Bono performing. They'll read it here first if they are fans of this column! The Liberty Medal Award going to these two former presidents because of their fundraising on behalf of the Indonesian tsunami and Hurricane Katrina comes with a $100,000 cash award. Bush the Elder and Clinton the Younger will divert this money to their world help foundation.

Bono tells friends he is devoted to Clinton, while at the same time he has worked on improving the world with the 43rd president, George W. Bush. This show-biz philanthropist knows how to go along and get along.

Noooo.... There's no way I can excuse myself for taking the train into Philly tomorrow to possibly maybe try to get a glimpse of Bono. Faraway, so close!

I wonder if he will ask Bush Sr. why he never returned his phone calls?

Since Edge will be joining Bono in NYC tomorrow, and the Clinton/Sr. team is being honored for their Katrina work, I'm figuring on The Edge joining Bono for this as well.

Very strange indeed -- their site lists both a Tuesday date and a Thursday Oct. 5th date for this event. Looking for any reports to indicate it took place yesterday.

"The Presidents, who are credited with raising more than $1 billion to support disaster relief and recovery organizations, will accept the Medal and its accompanying $100,000 prize on Thursday, October 5, 2006 at the National Constitution Center, in what will be the first Liberty Medal award given under the Center’s management. This is the first time both Presidents will be present to accept a joint award for their efforts."

Damm. I live in South Jersey, but have to work starting at 4pm tomorrow.

I don't know what the truth is but a person in Zootopia called the Constitution Center today to verify Bono's appearance at this event tomorrow and was told that it was Bon Jovi, not Bono, who is appearing there!

Maybe others might want to contact the Center to find out some more about this.

I wonder if he will ask Bush Sr. why he never returned his phone calls?

I've wondered that too. Also what Bush Sr. thinks of Bono speaking and working with Bush Jr.

I wonder if he will ask Bush Sr. why he never returned his phone calls?

Now that would make for an awkward silence indeed!
