Sir Paul McCartney Slams Bush: ‘Nice To Have A President Who Knows What A Library Is’

  1. Maybe someone should tell this joker he doesnt have a president at all since he is British. Maybe he should've stayed in school just long enough to know what country he is from and how to find it on a map.

    McCartney has a frightening resemblence to Susan Boyle.

    It seems that Heather Mills may be been misjudged.

  3. You think McCartney is less smart or less intelligent than your average college graduate? I don't know what his formal education is but, judging by his many and varied accomplishments, he is a talented and learned man. You? Not so much.

  4. To me this incident perfectly captures the sneering condecension of the left and the ironic lack of support for it. George W. Bush may not have been a great president, but he has a degree from Yale and an MBA from Harvard. McCartney is apparently what the Brits term a school-leaver, ie a high school dropout. Bush was one of the best-read presidents in history. His wife was a former librarian, making McCartney's remarks even more incomprehensible. Bush was known to read several books a week, even as president. He and Karl Rove competed to see who could read the most books. Obama? He plays a lot of golf and basketball and takes a lot of vacations.

    I find this whole episode sad. McCartney now joins the long list of dim-witted celebrities who try to curry favor with idiotic attacks on the opposition. Perhaps he was trying to show off for his 30-something girlfriend. Moreover, it was a monumental faux pas for a foreign dignitary to crudely attack a U. S. President while performing in the White House. McCartney owes Bush, Obama and the American people a heartfelt apology, not one of those PR-firm drafted "if anyone happened to be ofended by my remarks.." fake apologies.

    Let's all wish that Obama reads more books...anything to keep him off the job.
