Fired Treasury secretary Paul O'Neill gave U2's Bono a big hug Monday night as 1,200 denizens of official Washington -- everyone from Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) -- eagerly welcomed the Irish rocker to the American Ireland Fund's St. Patrick's Day dinner at the National Building Museum. "It's an honor to be in this city at this time," said Bono, who accepted the group's humanitarian award for his work to reduce Third World debt and fight AIDS globally. He tactfully avoided talk of war. "The people here have let me in, which is extraordinary because once I'm let in, I'm hard to get out! It's a hard look for rock stars to be seen with politicians. To be fair, it's uncool for both of us!"
