Larry Mullen claims 'Bono's friendship with war criminals makes me cringe'
Who'd have thunk it! The smartest person in U2 (though that of course is damning with very faint praise indeed!) turns out to be stickman Larry Mullen!
He talks about Bono cavorting with jug-eared war-monger Tony "I don't care" Blair and numbskulled war-monger GW "this'll make daddy happy" Bush!
Man, this guy finds Bono as annoying as we do! Nice work stickman!
There's a rather interesting reference in the article below too to a writer we like, Paul Theroux, who has described Bono, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie as "mythomaniacs"! So, Angelina's a nymphomaniac? Wow, there's a real shocker!!
What about Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage? Are they "mythomaniacs" too? Or nymphomaniacs?
U2 drummer Larry Mullen has admitted he "cringes" when he sees Bono associating with "war criminals" George W Bush and Tony Blair.
The normally reserved musician has launched a stinging attack on his frontman for his involvement with the two world leaders in an interview with music magazine Q.
It is not the first time Mullen has criticised Bono for his campaign work, but this is his most scathing criticism to date. From his appearance at Live Aid and Band Aid in the 1980s, Bono has been involved in numerous charities to raise awareness of crises in Africa, including AIDs.
He praised Mr Bush for increasing aid to Africa and most recently appeared with him during the G8 summit last year. In 2007, he also saluted outgoing British Prime Minister Tony Blair for "doing the things he believed in", despite the "accusations of a slick PR machine, spin doctoring and the like".
But his work outside the band has caused a deep rift between Bono and at least one other fellow band member.
In his interview, Mullen suggests the singer's campaigns have taken their toll on his family life. He admitted that Bono is "prepared to use his weight as a celebrity at great cost to himself and his family, to help other people", adding: "but, as an outsider looking in, I cringe."
He brands Mr Blair and Mr Bush "war criminals".
"Tony Blair is a war criminal and I think he should be tried as a war criminal.
"Then I see Bono and him as pals and I'm going, 'I don't like that'. Do I think George Bush is a war criminal? Probably -- but the difference between him and Tony Blair is that Blair is intelligent. So, he has no excuse."
Six years ago, in an interview on American TV, Mullen said he believed Bono's political crusades were unsettling the band. He told the '60 Minutes' programme that the lead singer's absence was felt each time he took a break to campaign on issues.
"It does interfere with the band," he said. "It's a four-legged table, and with one leg missing, even for short periods of time, the thing becomes a little unstable."
Bono has also come under attack from critics less close to home, including writer Paul Theroux.
Mr Theroux described Bono, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie as "mythomaniacs, people who wish to convince the world of their worth".
He said he was not complaining about humanitarian aid, disaster relief, AIDS education or affordable drugs.
"Instead, I am speaking of the 'more money' platform: the notion that what Africa needs is more prestige projects, volunteer labour and debt relief."
The U2 singer responded by calling his critics "cranks carping from the sidelines".
"A lot of them wouldn't know what to do if they were on the field," he said.

Kari Byron Bends Over and Takes one for Science!
Adam: I'm looking forward to spanking it!
Yes, the lovely and intelligent and hot Kari Byron from Mythbusters bends over and takes one for Science!
This babe is so very conscientious!
Kari Byron - One reason to Bust a Myth .. or a Nut !
OK. I do love Mythbusters!
But I'm not a nerd! Ok?
Actually, Mythbusters is one hell of a show. Intelligent, funny, interesting, wonderful.
It's not a moron-friendly show though! That automatically rules out over 90% of their potential audience right away!!

And it's got one hell of a babe on the presenting team!
Yes, the lovely and intelligent and lovely (did I say that word already?!) Kari Byron.
Now, there are flocks of nerds going psycho over this babe. Just check the web and forums!
That can't be good news for lil Kari!
There must be armies of little nerds camping out near her home, sitting snivelling, complaining about the cold and crying for their mummies!

Some of em must've gone into overdrive after the famous episode where Kari, clad only in skintight spandex, had a mould made of her ass (very pert and peachy it was too!) on one of last year's episodes!!I wonder how many billions of times that tiny snippet got played back again later (over and over and over and over!) by nerds?! I wonder how much Kleenex was bought!!
You haven't seen it? Tut tut! OK then, read this Post! kari bends-over
Rather surreally though, FHM placed the lovely Kari her at number 69 (phnarr phnarr!!) in their One Hundred Sexiest Women!
Now, that is way beyond nonsensical! She may be pretty hot. But she's not that fucking hot!
Maybe everyone working at FHM is a total nerd and has been camping out near her home, sitting snivelling, complaining about the cold and crying for their mummies!!
There are some nice shots from FHM, though. See below and above!
