McCartney's Estranged Wife Berates Rich
AP on AOL News ^ | November 22, 2007

Posted on 11/22/2007 6:14:11 AM PST by rightwingintelligentsia

DUBLIN, Ireland (Nov. 21) - Heather Mills McCartney, who is reportedly seeking millions of dollars in her breakup with Paul McCartney , denounced the world's rich as misers and snobs Wednesday.

Mills McCartney delivered the critical comments during her 90-minute speech to the debating society of Trinity College Dublin.

Former model Mills McCartney, 39, married the 65-year-old music legend in 2002 and gave birth to the couple's only child, Beatrice, a year later. But the couple separated last year, and McCartney filed for divorce alleging "unreasonable behavior" by his wife.

Mills McCartney said she was reluctantly obliged to befriend the world's wealthy because that was the only way to maximize her power as an agent for change.

"Sadly, you have to mix at a certain level of people to raise the level of funds you need to bring about the greater good," she said. "Because people are very snobby. These people who have lots of money, they're either snobby or they're stingy. If you have lots of money, you have to be stingy - because why would you want that amount of money?"

I think of all the things Paul McCartney has to be thankful for today, the greatest is not being married to her anymore.

Paul McCartney's personal wealth is estimated at $1.6 billion. British press reports have speculated that McCartney has offered his wife around $50 million, while she is seeking at least double that amount.

It’s sad that their child will have to be raised by, and have her perceptions molded by this bitter, gold-digging bimbo.

It would be nice if McCartney could get full custody.

Sir Paul obviously forgot to abide the most important corollary to Murphy’s Law: “Never go to bed with anyone crazier than yourself.”

http://www.nypost.com/seven/11212007/gossip/pagesix/pagesix.htm

November 21, 2007 — RAT-milk maven Heather Mills and her batty new mouthpiece, Michele Elyzabeth, are on a rampage, swearing to permanently cut off any news media outlet that dares make fun of Mills.

“Heather married Paul McCartney, period. It’s not going away. And during this divorce they [the media] will need access and are not going to get it,” Elyzabeth told Page Six yesterday. “They are [bleep]holes. There are limits and they make fun of her. They’ve crossed the line.”

Elyzabeth - who has taken to videoblogging about McCartney’s peg-legged ex with her flamboyant hairdressing friend, David Paul, and her lapdog, Bijou - said her latest beef is over the way some news organizations covered a statement Mills made Sunday in London’s Hyde Park.

(snip)

Elyzabeth, who has had her own sanity questioned for staunchly defending Mills, said, “I’m so happy doing this, I’ll take what comes my way. They want to take me down? I’ll take them down with me.”

She was a high priced callgirl/model before Paul. She is still whoring... for sympathy and 400 million in a divorce settlement.

I like the poll. 85% have a mostly negative impression of her. 5% have a mostly positive impression of her.

Of course, the 5% are probably libs.

How pathetic . . . Paul McCartney fits that definition of people. I guess we can conclude that she’s using filthy rich Paul for his money. Ah, but it’s for the greater good. Get him, Heather. Reminds me of Mrs. Clinton.

It’s a shame that the British judge in this divorce won’t (or can’t) tell her that he wouldn’t want to violate her ethics and moral stance by making her become snobby and stingy, so she doesn’t get a dime from McCartney and Paul gets full custody of the child because she is destitute and Paul has the means to take care of the child.
Besides being amusing, it would be justice.

That New York Post piece has to be the funniest item I've read in weeks!

"RAT-milk maven Heather Mills and her batty new mouthpiece, Michele Elzabeth....Elyzabeth - who has taken to videoblogging about McCartney’s peg-legged ex..."

Oh. My. Gawd.

Guess the Post isn't worried about being 'cut off' regarding their coverage of Heather Bimbo.

Love it.

If you have lots of money, you have to be stingy - because why would you want that amount of money?"

Typical meddlesome mentality. It's not necessary to have all that money/all those guns/such a big SUV/so much food from McDonalds/all that beer/etc.

Guess a bombastic blabber-mouth-brainstem was needed.
*Voila'*!
Heather Mills-McCartney fit the bill perfectly.

Of course Heather's having lots & lots & lots of money -- presettlement -- the debating society of Trinity may be trying to get a piece of had nothing whatsoever to do with the invitation. Noooooo. ;^)

"Imagine having to sit through 90 minutes of listening to her talk."

BWWWAAHAAAAAA!!!
Yea, I thought the exact same thing.

When the other shoe drops, we will discover that she has been in a snit over Sir Paul’s Royal status. She wants part of that action. So the Queen will dub her Lady Ilene and be done with her.
