I'm glad to see that the death of Andrew Brietbart hasn't impacted their journalistic integrity and vigorous research standards.

Are we sure this guy wasn't a liberal plant? So a Bono impersonator just happens to be there? Sorry, but the whole thing seems a little orchestrated. I hope Rush calls Obama out on this clear setup to embarrass one of our nation's only real journalists.

I loved in the video how the impersonator is smirking at the dumbass, like he just knows this is going to end up being funny as hell when the smarmy 'interviewer' discovers the error of his ways too late

Zoophagous: Am I the only one who thinks this guy doesn't really look like Bono?

It's actually better than I expected. I was expecting James O'Keefe with a pony tail wig, funky glasses, and a Gitanes dangling from his lips.

I like Jay Mohr's Bono impersonation....saw Jay recently in Phoenix....he has a bit he's done before about how much money their last tour grossed. frankly teh bit isn't very funny but whatever. I guess because he was in phoenix, he wanted to do it. he's like, "so, U2's last tour, they grossed $800 MILLION dollars! can you believe that?"

and then he goes, "by applause, how many of you saw the show at Sun Devil Stadium?"

Myself and one other person clapped. Roomful of like, 700 people, and two people clapped. Completely killed the bit. Not our fault. He asked the wrong question. He goes, after an incredulous pause, "wow.....Thanks a lot, Phoenix, U2 sells out stadiums with 80,000 people, and yet only two of you are gonna get this bit." he then detoured into an abbreviatied "bono makes a ton of money" bit.

well, what Jay didn't realize is that the U2360 tour -- the one he meant -- played UofP stadium (where the caridnals play). But he didn't say that. When he said "Sun Devil Stadium", to us, he meant the December 1987 shows. i was there, as was someone else. Now, had he asked about the Cardinals STatdium shows, I bet damn near 80% of the room would have applauded. anyways.

He was kinda pricky that night...he cracked several jokes that fell flat. at one point, not pissed but disappointed, he goes, "wow.....I am shocked more people didn't laugh at that. *sigh* Folks, we're in this together, i am the ocean, you are the boats, so when the tide rolls in, we all need to rise together, ok?"

I later noticed the moment he went over 60 minutes he ended the show. i mean, boom, 60 minutes, "well thanks, good night, see ya!" ehh. what are you gonna do.

I love this line at the end of Breitbart/Blaze story on this:

Mattera has been referred to as "DC's Bad Boy Reporter," and criticized in some quarters for his tactics. However, few have disputed his ability to get embarrassing excerpts out of those he interviews. This series of videos certainly does nothing to dispel that perception.

Yeah, except for the fact that, you know, he got duped and it's not Bono.

But God that celebrity impersonator must be so embarrassed!

Score another victory for the Citizen-Journalist-Blogger-Patriots of The New Media™!
