Perhaps not an everyday thing, but the Denver Post’s Lynn Bartels reports on a famous couple who broke bread in Denver’s trendy Uptown neighborhood yesterday:
Lunch visitors to the Humboldt restaurant today did a double take when they saw former President Clinton dining with Bono.
Among those lucky enough to be there and talk to the pair: Rep. Diana DeGette. The Denver congresswoman was catching up with the head of a nonprofit over lunch when the two celebrities walked in.
Clinton is in town for the Clinton Global Initiative, which started Monday at the Sheraton in downtown Denver. Bono is a singer with U2, which performed at the Pepsi Center Saturday.
Former President Bill Clinton and Bono are by all accounts good friends, to the extent that they each do pretty good impressions of the other. Clinton will give an address today at the Clinton Global Initiative’s CGI America 2015 conference. Bono’s performances with U2 this past weekend were reportedly very good, supporting their album Songs of Innocence that suddenly appeared on your iPhone last fall.
What is it with superstars and liberal ex-presidents, anyway? Why don’t Republicans get to hang with A-List celebrities? Don’t get us wrong, they’ll always have Michael Martin Murphey.
You’re right, that was kind of mean.

I will swallow…
Damn! I guess Bill has still got it. 🙂
Ah, so that explains the immaculate all-black tour bus ($1million-ish) with matching equipment trailer I spotted in Cherry Creek over the weekend.
BTW, shoulda got a picture of Bono's shoes (or the curb he might be standing on).
Clinton is 6'2", Bono isn't within 6 inches of that.
Snark aside, I suspect they were probably discussing another great project to help the underprivileged. It is in their nature I'm happy to say 🙂
Nauseating. Did they pick up some new groupies at Progress Now?
Oh, c'mon, Modster. I bet that there are political celebrities that trip your trigger. If Sarah Palin or Anne Coulter showed up at your local eatery, you'd be right there hoping to get into a photo op.
Clinton and Carter at least have endowed foundations and work with charities. What is it that the Bushes have done to help make the world better post-Presidency?
The Bushes are big investors with the Carlyle Group along with the Bin Laden family. Doesn't that count?

Or if Moddy is looking for a pol and a celeb, there's Ted Cruz and Ted Nugent.
