Politician Demands Mccartney Apologise For Bush Gag

A top U.S. politician is demanding SIR PAUL MCCARTNEY publicly apologise for a joke he made at former President GEORGE W. BUSH's expense during an appearance at the White House on Wednesday (02Jun10).

Republican John Boehner was not amused when the former Beatle poked fun at the ex-leader's intellect as he became the first non-American to collect the Gershwin Prize for Popular Song from Bush's successor, President Barack Obama.

MCCartney said, "After the last eight years, it's great to have a president who knows where the library is."

I agree that maybe Paul shouldn't say that being a guest, but let's face it!! He was absolutely right!!!! And to all the haters that trashes Paul... well that won't keep him awake in the night and certainly an apology won't make Bush smarter...Damn! Nothing could!!

Why should he apologize for speaking the truth? Bush was a terrible president and it seems like everyone forgot about it. Paul's comment makes me love him even more. I will be disappointed if he does apologize, there's no need.

I have been a Beatles fan all my life, grew up listening to them and still do not turn off a Beatles song when it comes on the radio. I will still, of course, continue to enjoy their music. However, Paul McCartney was at the White House getting a music honor, but decides to insult an American President. I don't care who you are, no matter what your party affiliation, no matter what you think of President Bush, that was a very disrespectful thing to say and totally unnecessary. I am no longer a personal fan of Paul McCartney the person, only his music.
