Martin has "nice butt," says Bono
Irish rocker to kick Prime Ministerial posterior anyway
If you needed even more evidence that ageing rock stars should stay out of international diplomacy, here it is.
Bono, from the Irish band U2 (one of the best bands ever), announced yesterday that he plans on kicking Prime Minister Paul Martin's butt. Bono is unhappy with Martin who:
- Used the rocker's popularity to get elected;
- Made significant committments about increasing aide to Africa in return;
- Abandoned those promises; and
- When given the chance, at this week's G8 meeting in Scotland, to mend his ways, he chose to ally himself with the United States rather than the European nations who capitulated in the face of celebrity pressure.
"No. I'm not satisfied [with Prime Minister Paul Martin's committment]. I'm going to kick his butt," Bono said at a post-G8 celebrity news conference. "As it happens it's a very nice butt."
Please, Bono kick away. He deserves it - for many reasons.
But I am intrigued why he thinks the PM has a nice posterior. I guess I'll have take a look at it next time it is in town.
