Tony Blair Says Bono Could Run A Country
Former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair thinks that Bono has what it takes to run a country. Spinner.com cites excerpts from Blair's new memoir in which he writes that the U2 rocker would have been a better choice to succeed him than Gordon Brown. In the book, titled "A Journey," the former PM says Bono, quote, "could have been a president or prime minister standing on his head. He had an absolutely natural gift for politicking, was great with people, very smart and an inspirational speaker...motivated by an abundant desire to keep on improving, never really content or relaxed."
Bono has expressed his admiration for Blair over the years, too. In 2007, immediately preceding Blair's exit from office, Bono told NME.com, quote, "What I admire the most about Tony Blair is that despite all accusations of a slick PR machine, spin doctoring and the like, he has almost all of the time exposed himself to bad press and outcry for doing the things he believed in." |
