Say it ain't so, Bono.

You know, I never really like U2 all that much anyway. And now they've seen the last freaking dime they can ever expect out of me.

Bono, U2 in Fundraiser for Senator Rick Santorum

On Sunday, October 16, a truly unique political event will take place.

Teaming up with the legendary rock group U2 for a one-night only appearance will be Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Penn.).

The thousand-dollar-a-seat concert has been put together by Sean and Ana Wolfington and will take place at the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia in support of Santorum’s re-election, reports NewsMax's James Hirsen.

And what is it that brought these two together? Why, nothing less than the most important reason on which anyone should base their political and governmental choices, as I'm sure Bono knows. Religion!

So what does the Irish rocker have in common with the conservative senator?

As in the case of Santorum, Bono’s religious convictions inform his activities.

The U2 leader shared some of his faith perspectives with the author of the book "Bono in Conversation.” He said, "It’s a mind-blowing concept that the God who created the universe might be looking for company, a real relationship with people.”

Santorum told "Christianity Today” that "faith is a source of morality; it’s a source of virtue; it’s a source of reason. It’s a tremendous influence on my worldview.”

I'm going to give myself a while before going so far as to edit this post and change the title to, Bono and U2 Can Kiss My Freaking Ass.

Apparently MAX SPEAK, as usual is not a reliable source. The details can be found here: Bono Quickly Distances Himself from Rick. Thanks to bcd in comments. Sorry the correction was a bit tardy but I ran into an electron shortage this afternoon (AKA power outage).
