Boehner to Bush-Bashing Beatle: Apologize!?
Sir Paul McCartney's cheap shot aimed at former President George W. Bush at a White House event on Wednesday has prompted House Minority Leader John Boehner to demand an apology from the Beatle.
McCartney literally gushed over President Obama throughout his East Room concert. “Getting this prize would just be good enough, but getting it from this president…” McCartney said letting his praise trail off as if there were vast volumes left unsaid.
The prize McCartney was given is the Gershwin Prize for Popular Song, a lifetime achievement award bestowed by the Library of Congress.
McCartney ended the evening taking a baseless cheap shot at former President George W. Bush.
“After the last eight years, it’s great to have a President who knows what a library is,” McCartney quipped.
When did decorum go out of style?
“Like millions of other Americans, I have always had a good impression of Paul McCartney and thought of him as a classy guy, but I was surprised and disappointed by the lack of grace and respect he displayed at the White House,” Boehner told HUMAN EVENTS. “I hope he'll apologize to the American people for his conduct which demeaned him, the White House and President Obama.”
McCartney is the third recipient of the Gershwin Prize. Hailing from England and having earned no university degrees of his own, the Beatle may not know W. was the first American president to earn a master’s degree in business administration. (The fact the MBA is from Harvard really irks the left.) Not to mention Bush is married to a librarian.
Your hero deserves every word of derision sent his way...you have that in common...
Why that can't be the Badeye who posts that he has never even met a Bushbot and was among one of Bush's biggest critics (evidently unless it is someone else doing the criticizing).
Didn't Connie Hair used to post on FR? I think her ID was Cal.
The irony here is I'd feel the same way if Sir Dumbass had made a comment about Clinton's sexual abuse of women while in the Whitehouse.
Thats the difference between me and the hate filled liberals and wanna be's.
The difference is.... I don't hold politicians as sacred icons and I feel even Paul McCartney has the right to criticize any and all of them. Hate filled or not has nothing to do with it and is just more of your subjective PC. Some politicians are well deserving of being hated.
I don't hold them as 'sacred icons' far from it. But the fact remains McCartney's classless comment should have been made on his own time, not in the Whitehouse.
Second, I wonder if McCartney has ever read a book in HIS LIFE.
Third, Bush has degrees from both Harvard and Yale...did McCartney even graduate highschool?
Fourth, on the 'dumb ass meter' McCartney had it pegged when he married his last super tramp. Remember? The one legged gold digger? He's so fucking stupid he didn't get a pre nup, then whined for two years about it.
There is a time and a place to display stupidity, or hatred. McCartney's choice and method made him look like a idiot.

Your actions again belie your words.... just when would that proper time be?
And your biggest problem is you confuse private citizens with public politicians while trying to equate the two.
Nobody makes me buy McCartney's records or concert tickets. Unfortunately there's no escaping the policies legislated by your political gods.

1. My actions belie your words.
I've never attended a Whitehouse dinner. I've never used a microphone at a Whitehouse dinner to insult a President. So this is just another comment of yours thats not based on any known fact.
The proper time? I addressed that up above. ON HIS OWN TIME.
2. I don't confuse 'private citizens' with public politicians (are there any other kind?)...no do I 'equate the two' in my comments. Again, another comment of yours not based on fact.
3. I don't have 'political Gods'. You can't cite a single post of mine that even remotely suggests such a thing. Again, another comment of yours thats not based on any known fact.
One more time, kookie. I'd feel the same way no matter which President this moron insulted while a GUEST of our nation, in our nation's WHITEHOUSE.
