I am TIME magazine's person of the year

Bono [Edit] [Delete] 17:57, 19 December '05

"Bono named 'Person Of The Year' by Time magazine

Time said Bono's efforts in fighting global poverty has had an impressive impact.

The magazine said: "Bono charmed and bullied and morally blackmailed the leaders of the world's richest countries into forgiving $40bn in debt owed by the poorest."

Time also named former US Presidents George Bush Sr and Bill Clinton 'Partners Of The Year' in 2005 for their humanitarian work."

Here's to one more (award) in the name of love this Christmas,

Bono
