Bono Moves in Mysterious Ways and Meets Marco Rubio

Yep, U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio has hit the big time.

The Florida Republican met with Irish rock star Bono, the front man of U2, who was working the Hill on Tuesday to push the agenda of his ONE campaign which wants more taxpayer support of international aid efforts.

ONEs cofounder Bono came to Washington, D.C., today to meet with House and Senate lawmakers from both sides of the aisle to thank them for their bipartisan commitment to the fight against extreme poverty and preventable disease -- and to talk about the importance of continued support for effective programs that are saving millions of lives in the poorest places on the planet for less than 1 percent of the federal budget, noted Shelia Nix of ONE. We had very good meetings in the Senate and House. U.S. leadership in the fight against extreme poverty has been a global game-changer. Thanks to effective programs, more than 4 million African men, women and children are on life-saving AIDS medicine and malaria deaths have been cut in half in countries across the continent --all in a few years.

No comment from Rubio's office on why U2's latest album, "No Line on the Horizon," was as forgettable as the presidency of Benjamin Harrison.
