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.
SNIP
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.”

YouTube video of McCartney insulting President Bush at the White House.
Pretty bloody shameful.
McCartney’s just an UNEDUCATED PUNK from Liverpool!! WHo ever thought he had CLASS??
Shut up and sing little monkey!
I would compare their college grades (Bush & Obama) but Obie refuses to even provide a birth certificate, much less college and law school transcripts.
Let’s give McCartney a ONE WAY TICKET to ride back to England.
I guess Madcow writes his stuff now.
Did Paul McCartney even finish the Brit equivalent of high school?
Obama is out there claiming the economy is improving, lying his *ss off, and THIS is what our fearless leaders in the GOP want to discuss?
Pantywaist lame brains.
He wrote some good songs 40+ years ago, and mostly crap since then. Who cares, he’s irrelevant at this point.
President Bush read a book a day while in office. He had bets going to see who could read the most books. Sir Paul should not speak in ignorance; it makes him look foolish.
How about a pair of swim fins and a nudge into the surf.
McCartney’s historically ignorant, juvenile pot shots aside, since when does the Commander in Chief allow foreigners to take pot shots at fellow American citizens, and a former chief executive no less, IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
Any knife that allowed his best work to be bought and controlled by Michael Jackson can’t be too sharp
The shocker for me was a crack about libraries, WHEN THE FIRST LADY WAS A LIBRARIAN!
Hello, doofus.
I never cared for the Beatles or McCartney.
George Harrison is my style. ;-)
Prior to the 2004 election, Meredith Baxer and Michael Gross were in Columbus, Ohio to rally the Kerry voters. They went on and on about how stupid President Bush was. Then both candidates transcripts came out. President Bush’s was much better than Kerry’s. ROTFLMAO!
Time to take these people off the pedestal.
They are entertainers. Not legends or gods.
They just sing. So what?!
A single Marine contributes more to the world then an ocean of these over celebrated millionaires.
The Beatles and others contributed to the sixties counter culture. Drug worshiping and anti-American corruption of youth!
Why is anyone surprised the man would behave like a pig still?
The HELL with these people!
British white trash- deport him!
Was that Jerry Sienfeld standing behind him ?.....in the clip I saw of his rude stupid remark it sure looked like him.
