Caught it -thx to you.
Plus the girl from CNN gets to go on the trip and give reports.
I think Bono likes her since she interviewed him before.
He said he was impressed w her journalistic skills in that interview.

I know she sure likes Bono! Did you see her trying to hold in her big smile as she discussed traveling with him? When her co-anchor asked her how much access she'd have to Bono, she grinned and said, well, I will be on the same plane and go everywhere he goes! So the guy says, "so you'll be able to tell us if he snores!" She blushed and smirked and said, "well I don't know if I'll get a chance to do that, but I'm sure if he does, he snores in tune!"

LOLL!!

this should be good... i just hope it doesn't come across as a joke or as a "promotional" thing for Bono, yknow? I'm hoping the seriousness of the issues weigh through.. at least we know Bono understand the potential of that happening and will most likely encourage that seriousness to be shown.

well, she's bono's type... dark hair, dark eyes. he probably flirts with her, which is why she gets all giddy.

I am excited at the press coverage that this trip is getting , but I am skeptical at the same time.

Our media in the US is so manipulative. I hope they don't turn this whole thing into a circus and forget about the real issue.

I find her to be very sexy!!

By the way, why the hell does Bono always lean over and never sit straight during interviews? He comes across as a pompous ass!!!!

Maybe he has poor posture. Maybe he is shy. Maybe it doesn't matter.

Are you sure pompous is the word you're looking for?

pom?pous [p?mpss ] adjective

1. self-important: having an excessive sense of self-importance, usually displayed through exaggerated seriousness or stateliness in speech or manner

Leaning over (to the side, forward, backward? which one?) doesn't really strike me as stately or serious. But anyway.

Yes, she is sexy but what does leaning over and not sitting straight have in common with being a pompous ass? Lot's of people have nervous habits that may be considered socially uncool or even bad manners but that doesn't make you pompous or an ass.

I have trouble sustaining eye contact with someone I don't know very well and some people interpret that as standoffish or conceited but I'm not either of those things.

Maybe he's just uncomfortable in an interview as evidenced by the way he tends to stammer and lose his train of thought. He can articulate himself beautifully in song but I have noticed that when he is interviwed on camera, he doesn't appear very comfortable.
