Bono raises The Observer’s ire…slightly

There was a brief, off-beat mention of Bono’s extra-curricular antics in the Review section of today’s Observer newspaper, entitled ‘Pop Duets to Make You Cringe: Celebs and Politicos Don’t Mix. Or If They Do, They Shouldn’t.’ In its entirety, it read:

 ”Bono and George Bush

After a White House meeting in 2003 to discuss the Aids crisis, Bono declared: ‘The President’s emphasis upon anti-retroviral treatment represents a true paradigm shift.’ We never got to hear Dubya’s explanation of a paradigm shift, ‘true’ or not. “

 Amusing, but no points for originality I’d say…
