25. We heard the same "sellout" claim when Bono met with the Chimp
Like it or not, the Chimp currently holds the 'pursestrings'.

Bill is being pragmatic. Massaging the ego of the Chimp may feed and house thousands. Snubbing the Chimp while standing up for 'principle' could endanger thousands more.

Bill is choking back the vomit while he's keeping his "eyes on the prize"...namely saving lives.

He's doing the right thing.
