Palin fails to strike a chord with Bono after phone chat

SHE may be about to become the most powerful woman in the world, but Bono made it clear he had still not found what he was looking for in Sarah Palin.

The U2 frontman turned global poverty campaigner appeared cool on the Republican US vice presidential nominee following a telephone talk with her on Third World issues.

Pressed if he thought the Alaskan governor was up to the job of being a heartbeat away from assuming the presidency or could be trusted on aid, Bono seemed unaccustomedly lost for words.
