That Bono!

Barak tickles Bono's nose
Bono shakes Bush's.....hand?

That Bono!
Bono and George W. met again today:

"Bono took pains to praise Bush for US generosity around the world, saying that Washington could have "drawn the blinds and double-locked the doors" after the September 11, 2001 attacks.

"You should be very, very proud. But here's the problem: There's so much more to do. There is a gigantic chasm between the scale of the emergency and the scale of the response," said the singer.

Bush gave no sign he would meet Bono's request, but praised him as "a doer. The thing about this good citizen of the world is he's used his position to get things done. You're an amazing guy, Bono. God bless you."
