Paul McCartney Bashes Bush in Front of Obama and White House Guests By Noel Sheppard Created 06/03/2010 - 15:14
Former Beatles star Paul McCartney took a cheap shot at George W. Bush Wednesday evening after receiving an award from Barack Obama.
McCartney was honored in the East Room of the White House by the President, his family, and a star-studded guest list that included Stevie Wonder, Dave Grohl, Faith Hill, the Jonas Brothers, Jack White, Elvis Costello, Emmylou Harris, Herbie Hancock, Corinne Bailey Rae, and Jerry Seinfeld.
After receiving the Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song, McCartney told the audience, "After the last eight years, it's good to have a president that knows what a library is" (video follows with commentary):
Potentially even more disgraceful, those in the audience wildly applauded after McCartney made this disgusting comment.
Isn't that special?
Two weeks ago, a Mexican president got cheered [0] by Democrats in Congress when he insulted Arizona's governor and every American that supports that state's new anti-illegal immigration law.
Days later, a British pop star insults our 43rd president -- while being honored by our nation in THE WHITE HOUSE!!! -- and those in attendance think it's a riot.
Makes you proud to be an American, doesn't it?
Post facto exit question: McCartney is touring America this summer. Will this comment help or hurt ticket sales?
We’re so sorry
Paul McCartney
We’re so sorry
That LSD ate away your brain
We’re so sorry
Paul McCartney
That no one’s left at home
And thought is such a strain
We’re so sorry
That you haven’t had a thought all day
We’re so sorry
Paul McCartney
But if you should think a thought
Be sure to give a ring
We’re so sorry
Paul McCartney
But you haven’t thought a bloody thought all day
We’re so sorry
Paul McCartney
But your mind is on the boil
And you’re so easily lead astray
Fool across the water (water)
Ass in our White House
i’ll bet paul would be suprised to know that former President Bush is an avid reader. I would wager he reads more than know-it-all Obama....

1. George Bush's undergraduate GPA was higher than Barry's.
2. Bush is better and more widely read.
Care to release those transcripts, Barry?
God his post Beatle muzack really was bad.
Linda McCartney. ROFLMAO
The WH bust of Sir Winston Churchill was dumped by O. He really doesn’t like the British any more than he likes America.
But he sure do love fawning celebrity entertainers.
Imagine there’s no Beatles. Its easy if you try...
I never liked their music and certainly don’t care for his behavior in OUR White House.
I will so happy when class and honor are restored in the White House. I can’t even imagine something like this in a Bush White House. Having observed him up close for a few years in Church, I know Bush was a man of character. While he was not perfect, no man is, he loved this country and did everything to keep us safe. He deserves much more respect, especially from some “entertainer.”
Linda.
I agree. I do not like their music or Paul McCartney’s uneducated view of the world. How crude?
Never thought I'd feel sorry for terrorists.
If I could put a thought balloon above Seinfeld's head it would read "a George Bush joke? That is soooo 2006".
I never liked the Beatles or any of mc-cartney’s bubble gum crap songs.... so there.
Remember when someone turned on Linda’s mic on one song? That was pathetic.
I found it on You tube!!!

I guess Ringo is really the only sane one...............
Paul, the 60s are LONG gone. Now you just look and sound like the smack-off you really are.
It is remarkable he recognized a library, since this may have been his first appearance in one. Maybe someday his acumen will be keen enough that he can actually recognize what a President looks like as well. Until then, learning some manners would be a fine idea.
Right. McCartney calls George Bush stupid but he’s the one that gets taken for $50mil in a divorce AND THERE WAS A PRENUP!
Dumbass.
