Bank-o on Bon-o says LA Times

Bono for the World Bank:

"Bono may not have a PhD in economics, but he'd have plenty of real economists around the bank to consult. Bono is the most eloquent and passionate spokesman for African aid in the Western world. And given that both ex-President Bill Clinton and British Prime Minister Tony Blair have in recent years made Africa one of their focuses, that's saying something."

Is the LA Times sincere? I can't tell if this editorial is reality-based or Hollywood fantasy, but kind words for Bono indeed.
