Breitbart: A new batch of emails from Hillary Clinton’s tenure at the State Department released by Judicial Watch on Monday revealed that a former aide to Bill Clinton asked State to accommodate a request from Clinton Foundation supporter and U2 lead singer Bono.
According to emails obtained by Judicial Watch, former Bill Clinton aide Ben Schwerin — who reportedly helped to set up the Clinton Foundation — emailed Hillary Clinton staffer Huma Abedin and Clinton Foundation executive Douglas Band on May 27, 2009 asking for a favor for Bono, who was about to embark on a world tour with U2.
“Bono wants to do linkup with the international space station on every show during the tour this year,” Schwerin wrote Abedin and Band. “I’m trying to figure out who the best contact is to talk to at NASA or the congressional committee on science and technology. Any ideas? Thks.”
they’re all rats, scurrying to keep above the waterline
love it
Bono is still around? I mean, grease stains have been killed, but THIS motherfucker is still alive?
Where The Sheets Have No Name
Bill Clinton’s favorite song.
No, not Bono! 🙁
[And I mean that, I love U2. They’re my B A N D.]
Wait, re-reading this… don’t MOST musicians ask for $pecial favors like this? I mean, it was still wrong though.
In the overall scheme of “friends in high places” this sounds like a pretty minor one. It does tend to show a pattern of behaviour. Anyway, Bono’s a dick. He once praised GWB for keeping his word on African aid but then ducked him at a benefit so he wouldn’t have to shake his hand and later laughed about it with his pals.
Thought his name was boner
Well, Hillary Clinton’s a lawyer, right? If anyone asks her about the favor, she can just say she did it pro bono.
😛
In school, I bet bono paid the class jock in marbles to keep the class bully from beating the tar out of him.
