Yet to Obama he’s more popular than Jesus

who ever said mccartneee had class to begin with?

[EDINVA]

Major disappointment with McCartney. Tasteless. Stupid. Totally non-U. Not even funny, but in the White House? Don’t know who was tackier, McCartney or the attendees who hooted in laughter, or the POTUS that let it happen in his White House.

Gotta disagree with Levin’s sub for the night; he doesn’t get a pass ‘for being Paul McCartney.’

By claiming Bush didn’t know what a library is, McCartney shows his own ignorance. Bush, contrary to the public impression, was actually an avid reader.

[Nahanni]

Two words...

Who cares?

[Nepeta]

Shut up, Paul. You are decades past your prime, an overhyped prime when you got more attention than you deserved. You're an old pop singer who had some good handlers.

Please stay in your own rapidly decaying country.

[mellow velo]

You, Sir Paul, demonstrated he can have zero class at times.

There was an apostrophe + s left out of this sentence. It should read, "You, Sir Paul, demonstrated he can have zero's class at times."

I mean, really, was Sir Paul's statement much different than most that come out of our Pres__ent's pie hole?

[Steve_Seattle]

The Beatles were very inventive (give George Martin some of the credit for that), but I don’t think their music has really stood the test of time. The early stuff is dated, and the later stuff is often embarrassingly pretentious.

I would guess that the same morons who think he has anything of importance to say also voted for mac daddy, says a lot about the fan base for his words of wisdom.

[ColdOne]

I wondered why he would say this. well many reasons come to mind but he is going on tour soon I read and this is publicity and no such thing as bad publicity? well now there is Paul!

[workerbee]

Isn't it sort of de rigeur for celebs to be anti-Repub/conservative/tradition and pro-BamBam/socialist/idiotic?

I mean, really. What thinking person gives a fairy's fart for what Paul McCartney thinks of GWB?

[DPMD]

This obscenely wealthy creep, who doesn’t vote in the US, and who, according to Hillary, doesn’t pay his fair share of taxes, is of no consequence.

[SmokingJoe]

Sir Paul has had zero class for the last half-century.

Pretty much.
If he doesn't just shut up and sing, we'll send another one legged hooker to go marry him, this time with a steel leg to better bash him over the head with, whenever he gets stupid (which is very often apparently).

[altura]

Ha, ha, hope leg deprived girl got a huge chunk of your money!

[altura]

Cannot listen to them any more. Why did I like them?

[Since 2009-07-21]

I heard that Paul made this joke about Bush as a distraction because someone in the audience yelled, “Isn’t this the guy who wrote Liverpool Oratorio?!” People started snickering and giggling and Paul broke out in a flop sweat. Looks like his quick thinking worked.

[DOGEY]

This is the idiot who never got a prenup signed and lost millions.

[cvq3842]

Whatever one feels about Bush, the comment was exceptionally rude.

This coming from the man who commented at age 14 when his mother died of cancer, “what will we do without her money?”

Also the man whose first public comment about John Lennon's death was “yeah, it's a drag.”

And any president with any sense of decency would not have been pleased about it either. But I'm sure Obama loved it.

Imagine if some foreign musician had said something similar about Carter at a ceremony hosted by Reagan? Would Reagan have enjoyed it and yukked it up like Obama did? Of course not.

Some people have class, dignity, and morals. And the others are liberals.

[Col Frank Slade]

Shut up and sing.

Better yet, shut up and go home to that toilet known as England.
