With or Without You
Our guest colloquists are Boy Gonzo Jason Mattera and “Bono”, a purported member of a popular music group. Before enjoying the exchange, please note the following update posted on Glenn Beck’s Blaze website:
Editor’s note: The original Breitbart.com story has been removed and the Jason Mattera videos have now been moved to “private” on YouTube. There is widespread discussion on Twitter that the person Mattera interviewed in the videos may have been a Bono impersonator.
We now join our Youthful Muckraking Hero and Not Bono, already in progress.
Mattera: By dodging taxes on royalties are you raiding the poverty programs you purport to champion?
Bono: No.
Mattera: No? Don’t you want governments to be generous with other people’s money and not yours?
Bono: I don’t have control over that…
Mattera: How do you not have control over that? It’s your company. Are you not in charge of your own company?
Bono: It’s not my company.
Mattera: You have no say in what U2 does?
Bono: Not particularly.
Mattera: You don’t? You don’t have a say in what U2 does?
Bono: No.
Mattera: You’re the front man of your band, which has made you hundreds of millions of dollars… you have no idea why it moved from Ireland to Holland?
Bono: I don’t have that answer.
Mattera: It wasn’t take advantage of a much lower tax rate?
Bono: I don’t have that answer.
Mattera: You are seriously going to say that you don’t have that answer?
Bono: I don’t have that answer.
NoNo & NoLo & did I mention the 5th.
