New York Times op-ed columnist Bill Kristol Bono paid a very special visit to Barack Obama’s White House. And Bono did a dance. And Barack Obama laughed. And the BP oil spill should reach Ireland shortly.
No wonder Michelle Obama went outside to play with the dog:

Everyone loves a good groupie story.
They always be after his lucky charms…
Michelle knows best, just stay away from Bono; you know how he loves to patronize black people.
So the Kenyan is having dance parties with drunken Micks in the People’s House?
Why aren’t they using the dog to sop up the oil? Why do the Obamas hate Catholics and Protestants in Ireland?
Oh hey, what’s that on the coffee table that Obama’s reading? Why it’s a foreign newspaper!
I wonder what she’s training Bo to do?
Well that’s a switch. Doesn’t Mr. Bojangles usually dance for whitey?
freestyle rap?
So, we have Bono visiting Obama and his dog Bo Obama.
Maybe Obama should also get pet bonobo and name him BoBo, so that Bono could play with Bo Obama and the bonobo BoBo Obama.
Or not.
U2–way overrated, Bono–self-promoting asshole, God–invented whiskey to destroy Ireland.
More Bono and less Boehner, I say.
That booty should be stamped [i]Smoove was here[/i].

Meanwhile Chip Reis is fuming because he can’t ask Obama if this oil spill is his Katrina.
Good lord. Tell their decorator to hang drapes or something. That room has all the charm and warmth of the inside of a refrigerator.
Discussing the benefit concert for the sludge pit formerly known as the Atlantic Ocean.

Not to destroy it. Just to prevent them from ruling the world.
Obama jokingly tried on Bono’s sacred sunglasses after Bono breifly left them on the coffee table. Bono immediately and viciously attacked the President (the photo) after which the Secret Service pumped his self promoting ass full of uhmerrikan lead.
“I’ll relieve your country’s debt if you relieve mine … “
Important fact: the band U2 was originally known as “The Hype” and had a bassist named Dick.
In 1977, Dick left and the band changed its name to U2.
Moral of story: if your band is a bunch of dickless hype, then it’s really just as good as U2.
“So I’m noddin me head and sayin yeah, yeah Orin, thas a fantastic tune. And while the ol bastard is lookin the other way I look at Edge and I make this kind of lunge for the waste basket like I’m gonna cough up me lunch. So Edge is pissin himself trying not to laugh out loud and meanwhile Hatch, that prick, is puttin another piece of music on the stand on the piano like he’s just gonna serenade us to death. I’m serious, thas what happened.”
[re=581422]freakishlystrong[/re]: SCORE!
I’ll never tire of Bono’s take on Marlon Brando’s final scene in The Godfather.
Makes sense. “The Harlem Shuffle” was bigger in the UK than it ever was over here.
[re=581441]Ruhe[/re]: Very nice — I was just gonna say it was his imitation of John McCain walking up the stairs.
“Happy Beeerthday Mister President … “
[re=581424]Chain Tattoo[/re]: That made my head hurt.
I liked it when he was in the amazon talking to all those naked rainforest dudes.
What? Never mind then.
Lovin’ me some Leprechaun dance moves

The White House’s jerk-dar is down.

I’d rather scoop up Bo’s poop than listen to Bono annoy me, too.
I don’t know what everyone is laughing about. This photo was shot moments after Obama stabbed Bono in the ribs with a letter opener.
A joke that bears repeating.
During a U2 concert Bono asks the audience for some quiet. Then in the silence, he starts to slowly clap his hands. Holding the audience in total silence, he says into the microphone… “Every time I clap my hands, a child in Africa dies.”
A voice from near the front pierces the silence… “Well, fucking stop it then!”
wingnuts to lose their shit over this picture in 3..2..

can you believe that negro had the nerve to put his ass on a piece of history? i’m surprised politico hasn’t won the morning with this one yet.
[re=581493]sarcasticusername[/re]: Check out the astute observation by flickr commenter

His official pic on his wikipedia.
[re=581433]Joshua Norton[/re]: It may be called the White House, but David Bronstad would add lots of bright paint colors, plus a hastily painted art work. Don’t be afraid of color, people.
uh this might just be the best pic ever posted on the white house flickr stream:

some members of the audience definitely got a better view than they anticipated.
[re=581446]SayItWithWookies[/re]: You mean the hairball-coughing image? I hadn’t thought of that but that’s a good match.
[re=581520]sarcasticusername[/re]: Oh the faces of the white guy and black girl between his arms.
“The Aristocrats!”
European socialist rock stars in the white house now. We must impeach!
[re=581541]Virgin Birther[/re]: No, no. Everybody else would be laughing a lot harder if that were the bit.
[re=581541]Virgin Birther[/re]: But you reminded me of something a friend of mine wrote a few years back. With the oil slick in the Gulf it seems newly appropriate.
Bono: Am I bugging you? I don’t mean to bug ya.
I saw a gnome doing that exact same dance in Ironforge the other day.
[re=581441]Ruhe[/re]: Fookin’ brilliant, lad.
Does Bono have a faux-hawk?
Bo says No to Bono.
DC is having way better weather chicago
that is all.
It looks to me as if the Prez was thinking to himself: Is there no end to the number of sanctimonious twats I have to sit here and smile politely at? Next time sweetheart, I’M walking the dog…”
Bono and Geldof should hire plane and go for a joy flight over the Bermuda Triangle.
