Paul McCartney's cheap shot at President Bush

Obama’s library is full of books about himself!

[RexBeach]

Sir Paul’s insult of GWB would be akin to an American being feted at Buckingham Palace and making a wisecrack about the “Queen Mum.”

I used to be a big McCartney fan. I still like his music, but it turns out he’s just en elitist thug.

Pity, that.

Someone want to post a picture of Hitler’s nice office and library?

[The Wizard]

his voice sounds beat up, but he had his Beatle haircut, Hofner bass and Vox amp......all perfect.....

And then he has to open his mouth and lose me as a fan

Paul never knows when to STFU

[Opinionated Blowhard]

It surprises me that McCartney, of all people, is making wisecracks about someone’s intellect. Despite his accomplishments he’s always been viewed as a laughable lightweight by his more “serious” peers. I’d think he’d be sensitive to mocking others in the same way.

Perhaps Alzheimers is setting in. Someone needs to wheel this clown back into the nursing home.

Keep writing great music Paul ... but only open your mouth when you are singing it.

[pnh102]

Whenever the left gripes about how “bad” the 8 years of W were... I always ask, what was bad about it? People had jobs for one thing.

[Past Your Eyes]

Drug infested scum from the other side of the pond. Go back where you came from you useless creep.

“After the last eight years,” he quipped, “it’s great to have a president who knows what a library is.”

After the last years, it's unfortunate to have a president who knows what a golf course is better than leading.

Is that Elena Kagan accepting the prize?

[Eye of Unk]

I absolutely will never buy anything about Beatles music or anything from artists that act like this.

[jersey117]

They deserve each other. Two empty suits.

[originalbuckeye]

Nobody ever said any of the Beatles were intelligent. They just made great music. Shut up and sing, Sir Paul!

As an aside, I’m really convinced this sort of thing is now starting to backlash on Zero. The general public has noticed his partying, his golf and basketball, etc. Barack and Michelle Antoinette are tumbling in popularity. I guess you shouldn’t claim ‘Il will not rest until this hole is plugged’ and then do everything except oversee the operation. Not surprising.

[RGSpincich]

Cheap shot artist. Go back to Ilene you deserve each other.

[atomicweeder]

I don't mind making fun of the President (no matter who he is) and I know Bush had a great sense of humor.

But it's wrong when a foreigner does it.

"He can't do that to our pledges. Only we can do that to our pledges."

[deadrock]

PM, you sad sack of s&#t.

[what's up]

This remark about intelligence from a guy who got taken for millions by a gold-digger wife several decades his junior?

Uh-huh.

[almost done by half]

Paul obviously fried his Beatle brain!
