'J j' I 1 Share I I I I i 1 4tHmS9 I I I RICHARD GRAUUCHStaff Photographer U2 singer Bono, an activist in the global fight against AIDS and poverty, wants his voice heard at both the Democratic and GOP conventions. CERABINO from 1A Moore created a buzz wherever he went, turning heads Monday night when he showed up at former President Jimmy Carter's box inside the FleetCenter, or going mano-a-mano in a verbal duel with Fox News Channel's Bill O'Reilly. A city official in Cambridge gave Moore the key to the city Tuesday, and for a guy who wasn't planning to even be here, Moore has had a busy schedule making his way around the area in his nothing-special attire: a Michigan State Spartans cap, blue jeans, zippered jacket and running shoes.

Moore's here not by invitation from the Democratic National Committee, but by the Black Caucus, And he appears to be eating up the attention, giving emotional speeches that bring the party faithful to their feet. "We represent the majority of this country," he told the group at the theater. "America is not a conservative, right-wing country." Reporters from Europe and Asia follow him, and nobody is spared from his sharp tongue. When an Austrian reporter asked him a question, Moore said, "By the way, Austrians, thank you for Arnold (Schwarzenegger). You are not without sin.

You must atone!" I started my day Tuesday at a campaign-related event where the main speaker was Bono, lead singer for the Irish rock group U-2. He was joined onstage by Walter Mc-Carty of the Boston Celtics. The rock balladeer and the 6-foot-10 power forward may seem like an odd combination, but not here. The afternoon event in the same room featured former presidential candidate Wesley Clark and actor Ben Affleck.

"Heath care is a huge issue," Foley said. The wrestler said his biggest thrill has been meeting Ed Helms and Rob Corddry, two reporters from Comedy Central's The Daily Show, who are here spoofing the convention for the cable TV show. For those of you keeping score at home: That's a fake wrestler being impressed by meeting two fake newsmen who have become stars of a show that parodies the news.

It all fits. The convention itself is kind of a parody of a news event. tance of the youth vote are handed out along with the biographies of the wrestlers, making it possible to assimilate state-by-state vote comparisons with Nitro Girl Stacy Keibler's "marvel of nature" 41-inch legs. Mat men cometh "There's a dog-and-pony show to everything," explained Big Show, a 500-pound, 7-foot-2, World Wrestling Entertainment performer from Tampa who said he had a hard time slipping between the metal detectors to get into the convention. "I think our whole world has become entertainment You have to make things entertaining to give them an enlightening tone." Big Show said he was particularly impressed with Bill Clinton's entrance onstage for the 2000 Democratic National Convention.

The camera work, he said, looked borrowed from the wrestling world. "It was the 'Raw' entrance the low camera shot," Big Show said. One of the other wrestlers, Mick Foley, who broke in as Cactus Jack and once was The Rock's tag-team partner, says pro wrestlers, Speaking of which, one of For more information, call Medicare at 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227), TTY 1-877-486-2048, or visit www.medicare.gov. the Ohio delegates is talk-show host Jerry Springer, who walks the floor, leaving other delegates in his wake shouting, "Jerry!

It is one of the few unscripted moments of the week, and something that I'm sure Big Show would applaud as entertainment that gives an enlightening tone. Whatever that means.

The singer needs bipartisan American support, so he wasn't here to make political speeches, but he waxed poetic anyway. "An America that's facing out, like the Statue of Liberty, that's the kind of America I love," he told a room full of young workers for City Year, a service organization for young adults. "An America that faces out, not just for its selfish interests." Bono told the group that he's never nervous when talking to politicians.

"They're the ones who have to be nervous," he said, "because they will be judged by God and history." There seems to be no stretch too far in this marriage of celebrity and politics. Pro wrestlers are here to advocate registering young voters in a program called Smackdown Your Vote.
