I don’t know about McCartney, but Streisand said she would have preferred to wait. Still, both she and Bush were gracious at the actual event.
This is awarded for their accomplishments in their cultural field. Not for their politics.
No, that doesn’t mean McCartney isn’t a jackass. But it also doesn’t disqualify him for this honor.
Accomplishments in the field of daytime talk show host?
Yes, both Streisand and Pres. Bush were gracious. That was nice to see.
