One of its intrepid reporters sandbags Bono with an ambush interview, questioning him about taxes and such...
Quote:
Mattera: By dodging taxes on royalties are you raiding the poverty programs you purport to champion?
Bono: No.
Mattera: No? Don't you want governments to be generous with other people's money and not yours?
Bono: I don't have control over that...
Mattera: How do you not have control over that? It's your company. Are you not in charge of your own company?
Bono: It's not my company.
Mattera: You have no say in what U2 does?
Bono: Not particularly.
Mattera: You don't? You don't have a say in what U2 does?
Bono: No.
The "reporter". Jason Mattera, was instantly booked onto Sean Hannity's radio program, where "Hannity and Mattera touted "bad boy reporter" Mattera's impressive ambush interview skills. Asked by Hannity how he managed to get an interview with "Bono," Mattera replied that it was "basic shoeleather journalism.""
The problem? it wasn't Bono. It was a Bono impersonator who doesn't even look like much like Bono. Here's a link to the video...

No matter how stupid I think "conservatives" are, they constantly prove me wrong and show they are even more stupid than I thought.

Gotta say, the impersonator was a first class troll.

It would be pretty funny if Bono just picked some random guy out of a crowd and was like "you! go talk to that idiot and pretend to be me and say some ridiculous crap!"
