His analogy to SNL is perfect. SNL used to be funny and Paul used to write good music. Both are has-beens now however.

Also uninformed or he would know that Bush is an avid reader and Laura’s main focus as First Lady was on reading and libraries and that she was a librarian.

The contrast with the Obama’s is mind boggling if one has a mind to boggle which Sir Paul obviously doesn’t.

He should have read some small government conservative books.

McCartney is so uninformed that he doesn’t even know how much the Bush family did for libraries. The most annoying thing about McCartney is that he’s touring all over this country all summer making a fortune.

The dirtbag...

"After the last eight years, it's great to have a President who knows where the library golf course is," Macca said.

There, fixed it!

It's best that Bama stay out of the library and instead listen to 'silly love songs'.

Cute. I’m sure Sir Paul couldn’t give anyone directions to the library nearest his residence.

Mmmm, nope. Not close. It’s still a UK def., not an Aussie one. Whacker or Whacka is better ... idiot; somebody who talks drivel; somebody with whom you have little patience; a dickhead

With the very obvious dislike Obama has for Britain, it’s something of a surprise that he would even give an award to a Brit.

Probably because McCartney, no doubt, hates Britain as much as he does.

From good 'ol 1967:
Q: "Paul, how often have you taken LSD?"
PAUL: (pause) "About four times."

Q: "And where did you get it from?"
PAUL: "Well, you know, if I was to say where I got it from, you know, I mean... it's illegal and everything... it's silly to say that, you know. So I'd rather not say that."

Q: "Don't you believe that this is a matter which you should have kept private?"
PAUL: "Mmm, but the thing is-- I was asked a question by a newspaper, and the decision was whether to tell a lie or tell him the truth. I decided to tell him the truth... but I really didn't want to say anything, you know, because if I had my way I wouldn't have told anyone. I'm not trying to spread the word about this. But the man from the newspaper is the man from the mass medium. I'll keep it a personal thing if he does too you know... if he keeps it quiet. But he wanted to spread it so it's his responsibility, you know, for spreading it not mine."

Q: "But you're a public figure and you said it in the first place and you must have known it would make the newspaper."
PAUL: "Yeah, but to say it is only to tell the truth. I'm telling the truth, you know. I don't know what everyone's so angry about."

Q: "Do you think that you have now encouraged your fans to take drugs?"
PAUL: (clearly and calmly) "I don't think it'll make any difference. I don't think my fans are going to take drugs just because I did, you know. But the thing is-- that's not the point anyway. I was asked whether I had or not. And from then on, the whole bit about how far it's gonna go and how many people it's going to encourage is up to the newspapers, and up to you on television. I mean, you're spreading this now, at this moment. This is going into all the homes in Britain. And I'd rather it didn't. But you're asking me the question-- You want me to be honest-- I'll be honest."

Q: "But as a public figure, surely you've got the responsibility to..."
PAUL: "...No, it's you who've got the responsibility. You've got the responsibility not to spread this NOW. You know, I'm quite prepared to keep it as a very personal thing if you will too. If you'll shut up about it, I will."

No, it's we who've got the responsibility to see he's been joking around. Amazing: Sir Paul McCartney seems exactly like Mr. Paul McCartney, MBE.

It’s been said before, but Paul really does look like an old lesbian:

If you asked George W. Bush, he would say that Paul McCartney is a brilliant songwriter, singer, and musician, and leave it at that. G.W. Bush is the man you can always count on to be cordial and appropriate in every public situation.

The term “wanker” also applies to this fool. It’s an expression I first heard in the UK many years ago and is used to describe someone who spends an inordinate amount of time indulging in the art of self gratification.

In other words he’s a jerk off.

Oh, it’s a joke, so it’s ok?

“Paul McCartney looks like an aging lesbian.”

It’s a joke, so it’s ok.

The English have a marvelous expression: “Mutton dressed as lamb”
