“Come on, gents, get real. The U.S. is bankrupt, out of Benjamins,” Bono tells a visibly shocked Hu Jintao. “It’s cool to be charitable to the downtrodden and you have trillions in currency reserves. Just ask that Confucius cat.”

Are you sure this isn't from The Daily Mash?

Bono’s China Fantasy Tour Seeks U.S. Debt Relief

Bloomberg

It’s June 2010 and rock star Bono is playing Beijing. Chinese officials seem anything but amused.

Communist Party bigwigs expecting to hear “Vertigo” and “I Will Follow” from the U2 frontman are getting an earful about debt relief. Only, they aren’t inclined to follow the curious Irishman with the tinted glasses. Not with him asking China to forgive the U.S.’s debt.

“Come on, gents, get real. The U.S. is bankrupt, out of Benjamins,” Bono tells a visibly shocked Hu Jintao. “It’s cool to be charitable to the downtrodden and you have trillions in currency reserves. Just ask that Confucius cat.”

Made me laugh anyway.
