Kuddo's to Paul McCartney for not able to be available to meet with Rice
Condi baby stated she would like to meet with Sir Paul McCartney like it would simply be a done deal while she was "touring Europe last week and a spokesman for McCartney informed Ms. Rice that this "sadly" would not be possible...!

3. Good question, very deep, with many psychological meanings
She's an arrogant GOP elitist you know what.

4. She a Hugh1!1 fan.

"Rice, 51, describes herself as a huge Beatles fan who is excited about visiting Liverpool as well as Blackburn."

Maybe she took too much acid while listening to Helter Skelter.

15. Looks like she'll have to solve the Albert Hall holes mystery by herself.
Polythene Pam (Lennon/McCartney)

Well you should see Polythene Pam
She's so good-looking but she looks like a man
Well you should see her in drag dressed in her polythene bag
Yes you should see Polythene Pam.
Yeah yeah yeah

Get a dose of her in jackboots and kilt
She's killer-diller when she's dressed to the hilt
She's the kind of a girl that makes the "News of the World"
Yes you could say she was attractively built.
Yeah yeah yeah.

:evilgrin:

16. She is a pianist
She is a little too young for Beatlemania, but McCartney is the most significant musician of our generation who is still alive.

McCartney at a Brige school benefit (I think), slightly altered "Let it be" , sticking in Ker-er-ry after one of the Let it bes in fall 2004.

11. I didn't forget this McCartney interview w/Dan Rather. Neither did google.

McCartney, organizer of the October 20 "Concert for New York" fundraiser broadcast by VH1, was profiled by Dan Rather on the October 24 edition of the CBS magazine show. At one point, as he and Rather sat in the Ed Sullivan Theater, where the British group made their U.S. debut in 1964, McCartney explained why he arranged the concert event. MRC analyst Brian Boyd took down his reasoning:

"I also want to do it because the Mayor and the President have told me that this is the way to go, and what, who am I to argue with that? Let's listen to the bosses, for one. Let's show some respect. I think the day it happened I heard someone say, 'Well, we got this knucklehead for a President.' I said, ‘Okay, listen to me, stop there. Yesterday he might have been a knucklehead. Today he's not. Listen to me, he's your President. Get with it.' And you know, I'm not normally that political, but I think that you've got to do that in these circumstances. You certainly don't want the Indians fighting the Indians. I mean, people have got to rally. So I'm doing it and if one or two people might think it's cynical, so what? You know, I don't care. I'm doing it for reasons I know are good reasons. And it will help people."

13. I miss Lennon too!!
Good comment...........thanks for posting it!

Since 9/11 so much has happened.........I'm not so sure he would still be as generous with his remarks now..........especially regarding Bush.

14. Lots of people felt that way after 9/11
Edited on Mon Apr-24-06 08:05 AM by Mad_Dem_X
Most Americans were willing to give * the benefit of the doubt after 9/11, but things have changed. And, as you said, I'm sure Paul's opinions have changed as well, as have most people's.

Count me in as another who misses Lennon; one can only wonder what he'd be doing and saying about all of this were he alive today.

Edit: spelling

20. the Beatles influenced many things.........
I have no doubt if Lennon were alive today, he would be calling for another revolution!!!

Really, I cannot think of any person who would have less in common with them than Rice. If she truly was a fan, she completely missed their message!!

17. I didn't agree when he said that - but wasn't appalled
Bush had a 90 percent approval rating - hadn't yet invaded any country. He had an enormous opportunity to unite the world at that point.

18. Imagine
Just imagine if we still had John Lennon and Hunter S. Thompson.

I almost cry when I think like that.

How I miss them both.

22. Reminds me of back during Iran/Contra, when oliver north's blonde
little twinkie secretary, fawn "see fawn shred, shred fawn shred" hall, let it slip that she would like to meet Bruce Springsteen when he was in town for a concert. His response - thanks but no thanks. I believe the quote was - "I wouldn't want to meet oliver north, so why would I want to meet his secretary?" Or words to that effect.

contradicta is just feeling her oats, assumes that - because of who she is and whose butt she wipes all the time, she's entitled to some imperial perks and can place an order and snap her fingers and BOOM! It's done. Sorry, contradicta.

She probably is thinking ahead to when the bushies will be done and she'll want some nice photos of herself with lots of different bigshots, and one Paul McCartney is worth a dozen or more guys with big moustaches and fancy suits. Also, she'll want one of herself with Paul because it'd be wonderful to include in a photo section in her memoirs (which I'll BET someone's already shopping around for her).

Good for Paul! I'd say no, too. There wouldn't be any point in meeting with her. It would be time wasted. Even if you thought it might be a once-in-a-lifetime chance to lobby her for change in policy, you would NOT get through to her.
