5. What was the joke?

All I saw was mocking people who believed the CNN report. NOT Newsmax, but CNN.

I still haven't heard Bono's politics. He hangs with the likes of Jessie Helms and people are made fools of because they believe Bono is helping Santorum? The story, BTW, isn't completely false. Santorum's people ARE selling U2 tickets for $1000 skybox seats. U2, supposedly, isn't involved in it.

We KNOW Springsteen is a Liberal. HE has made that well known. Do we know Bono's politics? As I said before, I am guessing he's a Liberal because of his compassion for the less fortunate, but again, he hangs with people like Jessie Helms so who the hell knows? He plays that very close to his chest. He could be a repuke for all I know.

At least I saw this as mocking DUers who believed the story since CNN reported it(which ISN'T Newsmax). ME being one of them. "You find one in any crowd." Or so some people say. I didn't find the thread funny at all and I have a sense of humor. I missed the humor of mocking an entire group of people for something and I'm very use to the snarky remarks and superior attitudes....I've been here for 4 years, it rolls off.

That's all I have to say.

6. See, I'm innocent! I only saw the joke knowing Springsteen is a liberal

I wasn't involved in the CNN/Bono thing. Call me a johnny-come-lately that just thought the first post in the link in this post was funny. :shrug:

7. Ah. I should have known.

10. The best joke was BlueBear's Sonny Bono joke.

It was FUNNY.
