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?
B.S.
While Paul is here, he should visit the 57 states that Obama mentioned..Hey Paul, what do you think of your smart ass messiah now
Suck it, Paul.
Hmmm, Obama a Harvard grad. GW Bush a Yale AND Harvard grad.
'nuff said.
I have never liked HIM! He is nothing more than a meglomaniac.
Sir Paul should know that Obama is the TAXMAN he and the Beatles sang about.
I miss Bush...
Shame on you, Paul...
I thought they were a bunch of illiterate, egotistical snots.
Me too,and, obviously still are - what’s the saying can’t make a silk purse out of a sows ear. Personally, I didn’t find them ALL THAT. By the way, Paul, you can take your bloody self back to London where you are still relevent. Money can’t buy class, you have proved that. Oh, and when you leave, please take the 0 with you. Thanks. TaTa.
I miss clinton..;)
What a classless prick...retire old man, you are so over.
Ha! Maybe he has a crush on “Michelle”. . .
Imagine if you had to sit and listen to him
singing that song to the O’s???
Hey Paulie, ask Obamaone what a Corpseman is.
> Yep... such a classy crowd in the white house. Kinda like
> Jed and all his clan.
Jed Clampett was a hard-working, Bible-quoting, praying, God-fearing, morally upright, straight-shootin’, honest, guileless, common sense Mountain Man.
Such people have INFINITELY more dignity and integrity than ANY of the trash in the White House at McCartney’s “Award” presentation, including the benighted Knight himself.
Jackass. And I love the Beatles too. Shut up and sing Paul...
“After the last eight years, it’s good to have a president that knows what a library is”
...is McCommie saying that the kenyan is HIS president? Sold!
What do you call a dog with wings?
At least Bush was smart enough to marry a good woman who wouldn’t divorce him and clean him out to the tune of $50 million or so.
No more Foo Fighters for me. Jerk.
