Oh no he di'n'. Mike Huckabee invoked the name of the Bono at the tumultuous conclusion of his "
sermon of negativity" to the masses gathered in Tampa last night. Bono, one, if not the only non-partisan figure in Washington, had his good name and extra-ordinary words dragged through the mud last night by the increasingly hostile Huckabee. This was a breach of their "friendship" and I'll be interested to see if Bono has something to say about it. I'll try to link the video later, but for now, enjoy the text from Bono's friend, and notice how he never ends the "quote" from Bono. Ass-hat. To turn Bono's "extra-ordinary" quote into a political attack on Obama is an outrage!!
"Sometimes, we're so close to the picture, we can't really see it
clearly. I've worked with Bono for the past few years in the ONE
campaign to fight AIDS and hunger and disease around the world.
He's an Irishman and a great humanitarian who told me of his
admiration for America. He said we're more than a country; we're an
idea.
He reminded me that we are an exceptional nation with an
extraordinary history who owes it to the generations coming after us to
leave them an extraordinary legacy.
If we don't change the direction of our nation now, our bequest will be nothing but an extraordinary shame.
But we can do better.
President Obama is out of gas; Americans are out of patience, and our
great Republic is almost out of time."
