Bono the Wordsmith

Politics aside, you can't help but be humbled by Bono's utter mastery of the English language as evidenced in this press conference.

I'm particularly impressed by his use of the words "obfuscation" and "burobabble." I mean, c'mon, "obfuscation" was probably most recently used by puritanical clergy during the Salem Witch Trials and "burobabble" isn't even a word... it is in fact, for lack of a better word, burobabble. Seriously, this gets my vote for the W-T-F word creation of the millennium.
