Bono Given Space to Ramble in Only Paper that Will Have Him
And he still hasn't found what he's looking for
 


Oh goodness. Bono was hired as the newest Op-Ed contributor to The New York Times starting in 2009, despite the fact that Irish gent will be paid zero for his services. Which, technically, is all they are worth, since Bono will inevitably use the columns to preach the same old, same old stuff he usually does: Africa, poverty, blah blah blah.

Times and the times are changing Bono! If you want to see poverty, go down to the old offices of the New York Sun. Op-Ed editor Andrew Rosenthal made the pick, most likely hoping that if any more suspicious white packages come in the mail, he can just forward them to the U2 front man.

At any rate, he can't be worse than Bill Kristol.

I thought he was hired to write about music, not about politics.

Bono is incredible. Everyone is always looking to bloody his reputation. He's doing things that is making this world a better place. Give him a break already.
