...ever accused CNN commentator Jack Cafferty of being a shrinking violet. He routinely sounds off in his own tart, curmudgeon-like way on CNN's popular news show The Situation Room.

Ahern dresses like a man of the people, too. U2 frontman Bono has lobbied him on Africa and professes "enormous respect" for his countryman, who has committed to reaching the U.N.'s aid target ahead of schedule. But that respect isn't immediately reflected in Bono's nickname for Ahern: "the anoraked...
