Boehner to Sir Paul: Apologize to the American People ( McCartney Bush Insult)
Human Events ^ | Friday, June 4, 2010 | Connie Hair

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.

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.”

I can’t wait for the 60s generation to just die off already.

Hey Paul,

Don’t make it bad.

Take a sad President,

and make him better.

All those ‘men’ who look like old lesbians are my generation. The worst generation EVER. I am so ashamed.

I want to know who paid for this piece of scum to sing in front of the fraud and his family, and if it is you and me, I want to see how much it cost as well as a detailed accounting of it all.

Loved the "menwholooklikeoldlesbians" blog, but I hate to see Fess Parker on that page. Loved that guy!

Sir Paul is such a good judge of character and evidently thinks we all want to know his take on things.
His ex-peg-leg-wife had a lot of class and character, huh?

Amazing that uneducated people think it is funny to mock the education of an ex-President with a Harvard MBA.

This, coming from a guy who hails from what’s left of a country so ably led until just weeks ago by fellow leftard Gordon Brown.

Formerly Great Britain sucks so much now it’d be a stretch even to call it Mediocre Britain.

To the best of my knowledge, McCartney is NOT a US citizen. Since when does he have a President? I am so sick of foreigners telling US how we should run our country!

Beatle haircut, Hofner bass, Vox amp...all perfect and as remembered

For the record, I had nothing to do with his amp, and I'm far from perfect.

Boehner is pretty shameful himself. Didn’t waste too much time launching his money plea so he could run for House Speaker. Why does he need more money to do that?

Don’t these guys get to be millionaires when they get into congress and get re-elected a couple of times. He can use his own money for his campaign, as far as I’m concerned.

And quit endorsing RINOs in the NRCC. They only lose anyway, mainly because conservatives won’t vote for them.

If McCartney really believes what he said (IE that Bush is stupid)then Sir Paul is the one who is out of touch with reality. What a crass,classless thing to say.

“In a letter to the Dalai Lama, McCartney took issue with Buddhism and meat-eating being considered compatible”

LOL,,Lectured the Dalia Lama on proper interpretation of Buddhism? What next? critique Tiger on his swing, Richard Petty on driving, and LeBron on his layups? I guess three chords make him an expert on *everything*.

Per Wiki:

In 1947, he began attending Stockton Wood Road Primary school. He then attended the Joseph Williams Junior School and passed the 11-plus exam in 1953 with three others out of the 90 examinees, thus gaining admission to the Liverpool Institute. In 1954, while taking the bus from his home in the suburb of Speke to the Institute, he met George Harrison, who lived nearby. Passing the exam meant that McCartney and Harrison could go to a Grammar school rather than a secondary modern school, which the majority of pupils attended until they were eligible to work...

“McCartney later took his A-level exams, but passed only one subject—Art”

and who got far better grades that Kerry, Gore, and Obama. Obama’s are so bad that he won’t even tell us what they are.
