Duh, McCartney: Bush’s Wife Was a ‘Librarian’
by Tim SlagleRepresentative Boehner wants an apology from Sir Paul McCartney for his remarks about President Bush. I’ll take that one step further: Not only should he apologize, we should take away his Gershwin Award. I also think the Queen should ask him to relinquish his Knighthood.
In a coy, condescending remark, Paul implied that President Bush doesn’t know what a library is. Perhaps the decades of a vegetarian diet has started to cause neurological damage to Sir Paul. I know that he was probably just recycling a Bob Hope classic, but President Bush was married to a librarian. He must have some remembery of that mysterious place where Laura used to work.
Of course, perhaps Paul doesn’t think about a wife’s career choice as being valid. Paul’s last wife claimed to be a Model and a Nobel Prize nominee, but turned out to be a prostitute and a compulsive liar.
Why was Sir Paul being given this award in the first place? John was always the political Beatle; Paul was just the cute one. His sole contribution to our culture is being, the face on the “Meet the Beatles” album, that American teenagers were most likely to kiss.
He did have an ability to craft an infectious song hook, but was always a little deficient when it came to lyrics. It is a well-known point of Beatles trivia, that the original title for “Yesterday” was “Scrambled Eggs.” And who can forget “The Doggone Girl is Mine?” Without the intelligence of John and George, the Beatles would have vanished into bubble gum obscurity alongside other teeny-bopper idols like the Archies and the Monkees. (While I’m at it, what were the Jonas Brothers doing there at the ceremony to honor musical accomplishment?)
I can think of few other living performers that have been living on a legacy longer than Paul McCartney. The ten years that the Beatles topped the charts is what carries on for Paul. I defy anyone to name a Paul McCartney song from the last twenty years; much less one they would enjoy listening to, from the past thirty.
Shouldn’t an American award be reserved for Americans? Even President Obama hinted that it was inappropriate giving the award to an Englishman: “as we gather here tonight to present this annual award for extraordinary contributions to American music and culture — that’s right, we stole you, Paul — (laughter).”
The Library of Congress was originally founded to preserve all things American. Does Sir Paul really need any more awards? The Queen already knighted him, which is a tribute that has lost its meaning. Even though “Knights” like Paul are no longer expected to be proficient swordsmen, or to travel the world fighting for Christendom, they are expected to behave in a chivalrous manner. With his remark, he also violated one of tenets of the Code of Chivalry: “To refrain from the wanton giving of offence.” An Englishman truly deserving of Sir Paul’s title, would return it with his apology.
You probably cannot blame Paul, since his love of pot has left him little time or ability to keep up with things. Like most celebrities, his grasp of events doesn’t go far beyond talking points, and all his American friends probably told him the last president was really dumb.
If it were true that we had a president that couldn’t read, that would be shameful indeed. Almost as shameful, as an awarded musician, that couldn’t read a note of music; someone like Paul McCartney.
Because in all the uproar over his criticism of the former President, everyone seems to have forgotten one important thing: Paul is musically illiterate, and needs to hire people to transcribe his compositions.
You really shouldn’t criticize another man’s abilities, without “fixing a hole” in your own.

I don't care if this nimrod apologizes. Who really cares what he thinks? I'd be happy if he just went back to England, enjoy some tantric sessions with another political genius, Sting, and play some music (as bad as it is) once in a while. Other than that, enjoy retirement, marry another bubble-headed model (porn star) and shut up.
As someone said recently: I wouldn't piss on him if he were on fire, but I would piss on him if he wasn't on fire.
Paul McCartney probably still has overdue books at the Liverpool Public Library.
McCartney: Gershwin Award, Knighthood
Barry Hussein "Barack" Obama: President of the United States of America
These two men have had a lot of undeserved praise heaped upon them by people who allowed themselves to be wrapped up in the cult of personality. Each of them is unqualified to hold the titles they presently do. And without the REAL talent needed for deserved self-assuredness, and the character which comes from hard work, these spineless pretenders can only attempt to elevate themselves by trying to tear a truly good man down.
Pathetic.
Who the F*** is Paul McCartney? Remind me again why we should care what he thinks? He was relevant 50 yeras ago, is not an American citizen, has lost his voice and, from the looks of the picture, needs a facelift badly!
If you were to judge between George W. Bush and Paul McCartney based solely on their ability to chose quality wives… well, Bush wins in a walk.
much ado about nothing…
Flash back to say, 1984. Reagan was President. All of Europe thought him to be a cowboy, a failed actor, a dunce. One suspects McCartney would have had a similar quote about Renaldo Maximus. He, like the rest of the European elite drink deeply from the Obama kool-aid pitcher, and willingly make statements that utterly fly in the face of their own economic interests.
Like they won't be touched.
Boy- are THEY in for a surprise…
Scrambled eggs,
You were once between a chicken's legs
Now you're in a plate at my Aunt Peg's
Oh I need salt on scrambled eggs
Marmalade
What a tasty breakfast you have made
You were once fruit that had been pureed
Yes I love orange marmalade
I am Paul McCartney I am having geenyus let me show you it!
Well, add another to the list of people that I won't spend another cent on! What a shame, too. I still remember watching him live on Ed Sullivan. That Hollywood list is getting longer all the time too.
McCartney could be the most talented guy in the world and he'd still have no excuse for making such stupid comments. Has-been performers never seem to understand when it's time to get off the stage. This kind of idiocy only takes away from the legacy he could have had. I have no doubt his self-importance will continue to instigate these little outbursts and he'll go down into history as yet another pop-culture icon who spends his later years doing little more than uttering senile outbursts while people pat him on the hand and try to get him to shut up.
I have to take some pleasure in "Sir" Paul's graceless and classless remarks in this sense: When one wants to say something postiive about President Obama's efforts after a year and a half, there is not one single positive thing to be said. His proponents are left only with cheap shots at Bush as a way to divert attention from the unmitigated disaster that this President has engendered.
LOL!! Don't hold back any, Tim! Master Guns might hear me cracking up down the hall!
Laura Bush seems like such a nice lady. Bush NEVER went after anyone who went after him or called him names. Such class seems to come from the Neanderthal Republicans (Reagan being the same). The libs, Clinton and Obama are both so thin skinned. No class with either one. You look at either of those guys cross-eyed and they sent out the wolves on you.
Bush is an avid reader according to many reports. He and Karl Rove had a contest in 2006, and Bush read 95 books that year!
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB12302559570663468...
Newsflash, Sir Paul. The president you love so much has been very disrespectful to England since taking office.
That must be a heck of a version of "I'm a Little Teapot" he's performing in that photo.
I would agree that lots of these libs are full of self-importance. I don't think that you don't see conservative entertainers spouting their opinions as much, not because of black lists, but because they've got other things to do. Other than the occasional tea party, you really never hear a conservative celebrity out there making a fool of themself.
I think he's looking for his ears so that he can give his head a shake.
Always thought of him as the 'Wussbag Beatle'. I was actually surprised when he got married.
Lovely lyrics. I wonder what they really mean?
Paul is not all that talented. He can't even write a complete song. You will note almost everything he has written is a combination of two VERY short songs… This was pointed out to me back in 73 and it hasn't changed.
Chick-fil-A –
I could eat there seven times a day
Where the people laugh and children play,
Oh I’m in love with Chick-fil-A.
Suddenly, I need waffle fries in front of me.
With some nuggets, and a large sweet tea,
Oh Chick-fil-A, you set me free.
Kids get in the van so we can go there today.
But their stores are closed,
Oh I know, cause it’s Sunday. (Mutters.)
Chick-fil-A, what a dirty rotten trick to play.
Now I have to settle for Subway.
Oh I’m in love with Chick-fil-A. (Hums.) Chick-fil-A.
proof Tim Hawkins is much better than Sir Paul
Paul's last wife was a prostitute and a liar, John Lennon was married to Yoko Ono. Hmmm
Check out Ringo Star's wife…….. http://rds.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0oGdGIpNQ1MgBwAsEZXNyo...
Now who's the SMART Beatle ?
To quote Paul (from his song Junk):
Da da ya da da da,
Da da da,
Da da ya da da,
Da da da da da da da.
I'm looking thru that Code of Chivalry, and I'm trying to find ONE thing that would have qualified "Sir" Paul : /
Where's my royalty check ? heheheh
He stole those lyrics from me. I wrote that song when I was 12!!! Another Stinky Britches moment.
Unfortunately, being a conservative/libertarian, I have to separate some of my favorite musicians, entertainers, actors etc, from their political beliefs, otherwise I'd never listen to music or watch movies. I admire certain guys like Kelsey Grammar and Rober Downey Jr. for standing up for what they believe in, and being outwardly conservative, but they're established actors, and someone just getting into the industry as a conservative wouldn't have a shot. I wonder how many people in the entertainment/music industry are actually closet conservatives? I just don't believe that blatant stupidity and poisonous ideology is that contagious.
" I defy anyone to name a Paul McCartney song from the last twenty years; much less one they would enjoy listening to, from the past thirty."
I can, and do enjoy his works, from "Tug of War" to "The Firemen." There's plenty of good stuff there. My favorite past-thirty-years song has got to be "The World Tonight" from "Humble Pie", but there could have been any of a dozen other songs taking that mantle.
But his calloused, unthinking remarks were still out of line.
Ya I like to listen to Joan Baez sing but refuse to hear her speak!
Hey, the Queen did get Obama's greatest speeches collection on her Ipod. From Obama. Surprised that he didn't give her a "Yes We Can" T-shirt.
@ 2knowpeace:
Great article from the WSJ. According to Rove, Bush read 95 books in 2006, 51 in 2007, and 40 in 2008.
Wonder what titles McCartney has read lately?
Wonder what titles Obama has read lately?
we enjoyed he, and the other Beatle's contributions to our otherwise wayward youth…
This is such a 'who cares?' story as to defy logic. MUCH bigger fish to fry than a PC wannabe 65 year old…
What's really funny is this guy can't even read music. I'm not talking about orchestration (Carl Davis does his now; George Martin did it then). I'm talking just putting notes on paper. And he's talking about Bush being unread? Music theory just ain't that hard.
"Shouldn’t an American award be reserved for Americans?"
I was wondering about that. This is only the third time the award has been given–there is no way we have exhausted the supply of American songwriters/singers/promoters….in three minutes I came up with Bert Bacharach, Babyface, Bob Dylan, Quincy Jones, Smokey Robinson, Garth Brooks, Willie Nelson, Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen…
Are things so slow in leftist Hollywood land that an immature comment by dingbat "Sir" Paul McCartney rates more than a single paragraph?
If someone would like to address something more important, I suggest addressing the question "Where are all the rich conservatives who should be investing in film projects with the non default POV?"
Are they hiding out? Or are such animals now extinct?
Here is a quote from Karl Rove speaking about the voracious reader George W Bush is. It should be noted that this was WAY before Mr McCartney made his wretched remark about our 43rd President.
"There is a myth perpetuated by Bush critics that he would rather burn a book than read one. Like so many caricatures of the past eight years, this one is not only wrong, but also the opposite of the truth and evidence that bitterness can devour a small-minded critic. Mr. Bush loves books, learns from them, and is intellectually engaged by them."
Also, I want to thank the author for reminding me that Paul doesn't even know how to read music. I knew that, but had forgotten it. Pretty damning evidence for a man who just exploded 68 years of good will in 30 seconds. Wake up America. If THIS is the kind of behavior President Obama inspires in his fans… YIKES!!
Ringo's an ugly guy with the presence of a handsome guy. Irresistible to the ladies.
being knighted means so little it is hardly worth mentioning
Maybe some one can help me understnd Sir Elton John headlining Rush Limbaugh's wedding. I thought he was supposed to be all anti-gay and stuff. And Elton you'd think might take the opportunity to make a big show of saying no.
I suppose the check was big enough.
then again i don't recall Elton John being all that outspoken. Maybe I'm wrong.
It just seems like an unlikely match up.
"Of course, perhaps Paul doesn’t think about a wife’s career choice as being valid. Paul’s last wife claimed to be a Model and a Nobel Prize nominee, but turned out to be a prostitute and a compulsive liar."
I just don't think we should sink to the level of the opposition with this type of mudslinging and harmful rhetoric against someone who…….Oh—who the hell am I kidding, I fricking love this stuff. Couldn't you have added "cold-hearted, gold-digging bitch" to the end of the above line?
He probably thinks a US State like Texas doesn't have Libraries. What an elitist, smarmy, so and so.
Obladi obladum? How erudite…
and I, as well. Had my Mother make me a Neru jacket. She even made me a Gant shirt with bunnies on it. Anything to get the chicks.
Playing 'Whack-a-mole' with the likes of him, Maher, and the rest is a useless diversion.
Maybe he's smart enough to just shut up and sing. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense, when you think about it.
spot on, Deus…
Taking the next collective breath is FAR more important than the ruminations of this lot…
This one's a no-brainer, folks.
This guy was half of one the single most popular song writing teams in history.
Just compare the music and it's pretty easy to see who the brains and talent of that pair really was. Have some fun: get a copy of Lennon's "Plastic Ono Band" album, listen to it, then get McCartney's first solo album and listen to *that.* Lennon's songs may seem like a downer, but you won't throw up like you might with the other guy.
Lennon was a big lefty, but you knew where he stood, and he didn't try to insult you.
Re-post: I saw Karl Rove on FOX AM, and he and “W” were in a reading contest in ’06, the challenge was to read a book a week (this is a real dummies type of extra curricular activity, by the way ~sarc~) …W won, with the equivalent a book and a half a week, or approx 80 books. Since snarky is Sir Paul’s tone I have to ask, “I wonder if Paul’s read eighty books in his life?” …let alone in a year.
I'd heard the Library of Congress was created to save Thomas Jefferson from the life of a pauper. They bought his collection to help him pay off loans. He was a terrible businessman.
As an expatriate Southerner residing in the Northeast and subsisting on McDonald's "Southern Chicken Sandwich", I tell you that your little version of the parody almost brought tears to my eyes.
(sniff!)
Lemon meringue pie!
They may have smartened up a bit, and will not telegraph their next move. We can't risk being blindsided by this bunch, as they're playing for keeps…..
I'd piss on him if he was on fire. I'm a Christian, the whole good Samaritan thingy.
You should have gotten the Gershwin award!
Play them backwards and you will know!
Truthfully, Rush is not anti-gay, only anti in-your-face-gay-political agenda.
Brilliant, but I still prefer the classic "Scrambled Eggs".
Good point. You can learn a lot about a person by their spouse.
Hey McCartney – "Get back, oh get back, get back to where you once came from – ya get back, just get back, gey back to where you once came from"
And stay there. You and Loretta, and her low cut sweaters. On second thought Loretta can stay.
Agreed. I think the reason these threads are so popular over here at BH is because it's literally one of the few places they're called out on these stunts.
The hope is if there's a big enough out cry, they'll at least make an effort to think before acting.
They mean the walrus sat on Paul.
He looks like Helen Thomas in that photo…without makeup!
Who said it, always leave the audience wanting more?
I don't want any more.
That's what I heard too. Bush has probably read more books in the last eight years than McCartney has ever seen.
If you ask me, Ringo had more fun than the other three combined.
Money and fame.
that goes against the established order of things
so I refuse to believe you
it is ancient Sumarian for 'I needed to fill some space'
Well we know what Obama reads.
http://www.amazon.com/Post-American-World-Fareed-...
That and books and magazines that are about him.
For McCartney? Maybe this?
http://www.amazon.com/Little-Character-Goes-Long-...
Smokey Robinson, now that would be appropriate.
Right. Like half his dimwit lyrics.
OMG…Paul McCartney is so intelligent as witnessed by these *deeply philosophical* lyrics:
You say yes, I say no, you say stop, and I say go, go, go
Oh no – You say goodbye, and I say hello
Hello, hello – I don't know why you say goodbye I say hello
Hello, hello – I don't know why you say goodbye I say hello
I say high, you say low, you say why, and I say I don't know – Oh
Oh no – You say goodbye, and I say hello
Hello, hello – I don't know why you say goodbye I say hello
Hello, hello – I don't know why you say goodbye I say hello
why, why, why, why, why do you say goodbye, goodbye – wow
Oh no – You say goodbye, and I say hello
Hello, hello – I don't know why you say goodbye I say hello
Hello, hello – I don't know why you say goodbye I say hello
You say yes, I say no, you say stop, and I say go, go, go
Oh no – You say goodbye, and I say hello
Hello, hello – I don't know why you say goodbye I say hello
Hello, hello – I don't know why you say goodbye I say hello
Hello, hello – I don't know why you say goodbye I say Hello – Hello
Hey-la, He-be Hello
Hey-la, He-be Hello
Hey-la, He-be Hello
Hey-la, He-be Hello
That book by Fareed Zakaria sounds like a horror/thriller:
"Zakaria describes with equal prescience a world in which the United States will no longer dominate the global economy, orchestrate geopolitics, or overwhelm cultures." (Amazon.com review)
And the Ziggy book? Perhaps a little too philosophically deep for Sir Paul?
I think Ringo gets it in a way most celebrities don't. He knows he's a lucky guy and appreciates it.
Paul McCartney now looks and sounds like he is doing an impression of Dana Carvey doing an impression of Paul McCartney. And what is with his mancrush on the Big Owe.
Don't make me laugh so hard, EdSki!
Oh, MAN!!!
And I am trying to lose 10 pounds!
June MUST be "The Month of Jerks"…

"Tomahawk" Helen Thomas"———- The corner drugstore called…
Your shipment of E-LAX is in-
Bring a pickup truck and cash!
Unfortunately, there are still 27 days left in June….BRACE YOURSELF!!!
Back in the USSR is actually a love song to Soviet Russia…no wonder McCartney loves Obama so much. They are both Comrades in the Cause:
OH!

"Bush is an avid reader "
That's an excellent point. It also brings to mind the fact that the only picture of the Big Owe holding reading material was when he held the GQ magazine that had his picture on it.
There was also a great shot of Gibbs holding some sort of Star Wars magazine.
And yet these guys see fit to laugh at a joke about Bush43's supposed lack of reading.
Funny you should mention those songs, Nick. I've never heard of ANY of 'em.
LOL indeed, but we must remember who established that order.
OH and I'll take fries with that order as well.
they always telegraph their moves, Deus…
It's who they are. They are proud of their satanic idiocy. However, the media will downplay/cover it up for them. We just need to stay vigilant, for one of thie minion class will spill yon beans at some point. But your admonition of caution is key- and they are most definitely playing for keeps…
These leftie "entertainers" have believed that "flyover" country is full of uneducated hicks for as long as I can remember. Twenty years ago, I heard a "comedian" claim that he'd been arrested in Kentucky for "trying to smuggle in books." These folks haven't the least CLUE and think that anyone who did NOT get their degrees from Harvard, Yale or Princeton (and a few who have, but who hold the "wrong" political opinions) are simply illiterate, uneducated rubes. Apparently, that applies not only to the "Coastal" elites in both the Democrat Party and GOP, but by those who also live too close to salt water in Europe, too.
good point- but again, who cares? This is just anothe dog bites man story. Now had Macca lauded Bush- well now THAT's news…
It still smarts Paul that GEORGE was the most talented Beatle.
Sound like you're a fan of Taranto's blog over at WSJ.
It's not your fault that radio stations stink nowadays. If Lennon and Harrison were to rise and produce one last song w the others, I don't think it would fit the same format for the stations who specialize in Lady Gaga and Jay-Z.
But with iTunes, Pandora and YouTube, you most certainly can play catch-up. Sad thing is, because McCartney shot himself in the foot, where would be your motivation to do your Internet Homework?
he's afraid he'll be fined for coloring in them…
and how they handle criticism.
To be a Conservative in Hollywood is to be the one thing that can not, must not, will not ever be – and that is unfashionable. To be chic, hip, hot, whatever the latest catchphrase is these days is EVERYTHING when it comes to tinseltown. That's it in a nutshell. One must be trendy in Hollywood or else!
In other words, the people in Hollywood are THAT shallow, narcissistic and pretentious. I can't tell you how many times the crews have descended on my town (San Pedro) while making movies or commercials and how easy it is to tell them apart from other citizens. The Hollywood men are usually the fifty-something old farts who are balding in the front and yet sport ridiculous pony-tails of white or gray hair. They are (next to the employees at the DMV) the most annoying and fake people I have ever seen. Phonies!
And no one, including Sir Paul, is going to lecture me on morality, ethics, manners etc when these are the very same people that support Pedophiles such as Roman Polanski, murderers such as Mumia Abul Jamal, tyrants like Fidel Castro, murdering sadistic thugs like Che Guevarra and other douchebags. I'm not buying their BS. Not now – not ever. And sadly, Sir Paul is just a sad charicature of what he once was…. forty years ago.
I hope Obama gave Sir Paul the appropriate gift he gives all the royalty of the UK. An iPod with all of his teleprompter read speeches. I bet the Queen uses her to drift off into lullaby land every night.
Mr. McCartney himself BARELY graduated from grammar school. He has no college or university experience whatsoever!
If he had himself spent more time in a library, he might have known that George W. Bush had a Master's degree from Harvard University. I don't know too many stupid or incompetent people that have achieved that!
I am constantly amazed how many UNeductated elitist entertainers attack other, MORE educated people, claiming that they aren't smart. The reality is that these Hollywood derelicts haven't the true intelligence to debate a subject, so they attack the other side by labeling them as stupid. They did this to Ronald Reagan, too. Reagan had a degree in ECONOMICS! I'll bet that's something that NO Hollywood or MSM reporter ever acknowledged!
The reality is that this reveals much more about the poor character McCartney and other Hollyweird imbeciles than it does about Bush or any other conservative that is targeted by these moral slouches.
Yeah – Paul should not have said that!
It's not nice to make fun of the handicapped!
Wonder what titles McCartney has read lately?
Little LuLu and of course he reads it in the Lu.
Ha!
Since Paul has started to look more like Helen Thomas it is even harder to keep track of which one is spouting their nonsense. Liverpool has less liver spots used to do the trick, but not any longer.
They believe we'll give up our freedom before we'll be willing to fight for it. It's a game of 'Chicken' we can't afford to lose. I, for one, will not yield.
British and breathing.
True.
I don't think McCartney ever claimed to be a musical genius. He was just an entertainer. He must have been doing something right, because his career lasted well after the Beatles broke up. Now he's an old man, and old men tend to get cranky and outspoken about their politics, left- or right-wing. And that's not because they've learned anything about politics through years of careful observation and study. It's because the world has changed and they haven't.
You mean the handicapped guy who "lied" us into a war in Iraq by deceiving the American and international press, foreign governments, and the public at large about Saddam's WMDs? The alleged *true* mastermind behind the 9/11 attacks? The guy who came *this* close to single-handedly destroying American democracy and setting up a fascist police state with himself as der Fuhrer? If he was such a retard, why was everyone so scared of him?
Lennon wrote this song about McCartney. It appears he knew Paul's nasty side very well:
"How Do You Sleep?"
Those freaks was right when they said you was dead
The one mistake you made was in your head
You live with straights who tell you you was king
Jump when your momma tell you anything
The only thing you done was yesterday
And since you're gone you're just another day
A pretty face may last a year or two
But pretty soon they'll see what you can do
The sound you make is muzak to my ears
You must have learned something in all those years
Ah, how do you sleep?
Ah, how do you sleep at night?
I "heard" the Library of Congress burned down and bought his books to replace their lost books. Jefferson had one of the few personal libraries of any note at the time, but it is true that he was often in debt from spending money on things such as wines and books. One of the hardships that led to the Revolution was Englands limiting actual currency that led to the owning of vast amounts of land as wealth but no money to buy things.
Elton John not outspoken? Isn't he the same knucklehead a few weeks back that declared that Jesus and the apostles were gay?
Thanks for the clarification.
I had learned about his business problems, but only in the last few years, reading various books on the era learned that it might not have been entirely his fault. Even as early as the 1770's the slave based economy was already beginning to fail. They could not produce efficiently as free labor. He may have been one of the early dominoes to fall.
