OMFG!!! Paul McCartney Apologizes to Boehner????!!!!!!

[ithinkmyliverhurts]

"House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) is demanding that Paul McCartney apologize for expressing his gratitude that America again has a president "who knows what a library is," Human Events' Connie Hair reports."

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/06/04/john-boehner-paul-mccartney_n_601102.html

From the AP:

Sir Paul: "I deeply regret that the former President of the United States was such a fucktard that even I could make such an easy joke. Oh, yeah, and I'm sorry that the American people see it appropriate to elect such obvious tanned douche-wankery to such an important national position. And one final thing: I hereby admit that George Harrison was the most talented Beatle of all. And Ringo is the luckiest son-of-a-bitch who has ever lived. That is all. I am Sir Paul."

[hlthe2b]

1. LOL appropriate apology

and even Ringo couldn't argue the point. ;)

[babylonsister]

2. Hahaha! Very appropriate! nt

[Angry Dragon]

3. I was worried that he actually did

[Politicalboi]

37. Me too

I sure hope he doesn't.

[UndertheOcean]

4. You are pulling our collective leg , was that really Paul's "Apology"

[Segami]

5. Quite frankly, I think he's a couple of paragraphs short of a FULL apology..LOL!

[Rosa Luxemburg]

6. The Republicans just can't take a joke

of course they know they had a pea-brained leader for 8 years.

[SpiralHawk]

12. Refugglians luvs them to dish out copious lie-based crapola

but whines whines whines like a flock of constipated Wide-stance, Diaper-clad, ManTan Chickenhawk Rentboys when someone FARTS a Whiff of Real Certifiable Truth in their general direction.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

27. LOL!

we need to hire that kitty.

[lib_wit_it]

47. When you are a joke, it's hard to take. Plus, their sense of humor is about as well developed as

their empathy and compassion. Any time a righty is on Daily Show or Bill Maher, etc., their lame attempts at humor are absolutely cringe-worthy. And that includes Old Man McCain, who has been credited with a bit of wit in the past.

[MilesColtrane]

7. If you play Boehner's "demand" backwards you can hear, "Paul is dead...to the GOP".

[Segami]

8. BWHAHAHA.

[ithinkmyliverhurts]

20. Nice.

Very nice.

[nolabear]

28. Oh nice. Gotta clean that mouthful of tea off the keyboard now.

[leftofcool]

31. BWHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

[JuniperLea]

32. Rimshot!

[pinboy3niner]

41. I laughed so hard, I think my liver hurts!

:rofl:

[Oceansaway]

9. K&R...n/t

[mzmolly]

10. Do you have the AP link?

Thanks.

[ithinkmyliverhurts]

13. It's somewhere around here.

I'll have to find it again. I filed it under "Eleanor Rigby" so that I could easily locate it later (that one is for all the Beatles nerds).

[mzmolly]

16. I thought it might be satire

but it seemed so appropriate (and it's in GD vs. the lounge) so I wanted to clarify. ;) I thought Sir Paul was having more fun with us, darn!

Thanks for the chuckle. :hi:

[madmax]

11. Damn! My heart skipped a beat!

Don't do dat! ;)

[RagAss]

14. "Everybody's Got Something to Hide(Except Me and My Chimpy)"

[onehandle]

15. Oh, boner. Will you every go flaccid?

STFU.

And George was a lot more talented than the Beatles lousy contract allowed him to be.

[mod mom]

17. "tanned douche-wankery"

:rofl:

[drm604]

18. I cannot find any reference to your Paul McCartney quote.

Googling different pieces of that quote, all I come up with are links to this thread. Are you certain of your source?

Frankly, I'm skeptical that the AP would print the word "fucktard".

[nebenaube]

21. I think you will have to be quicker to figure this one out... n/t

[drm604]

39. I wanted to callout the OP for his bullsht post, but in a nice way.

I prefer not to call people uhh... fabricators... so I simply questioned the source rather than the OP. Believe me, I figured it out pretty quick.

[mod mom]

43. don't you think it was obvious it was humor.

personally....I loved it and thought it was hilarious!

[drm604]

51. You shouldn't claim that it's from the AP if it's humor.

Just put the funny "quote", don't source it. When you source it to the AP it appears that you're claiming that it's true. I can tell you from experience that there are people on DU who will take it as the truth. People have believed Andy Borowitz's satirical articles on Huffington to be real news, for example.

[XOKCowboy]

67. In the OP's defense AP just makes up shit all the time...

Just sayin' :)

[mod mom]

71. good one.

:hi:

[ithinkmyliverhurts]

80. Thanks for being so nice when calling out my bullshit post.

Good thing I didn't make up a fake URL to a fake, non-existent AP article in order to heap even more fakery onto my big pile of a bullshit post.

[Xipe Totec]

19. I'm sorry. I'm sorry your parents are kin nt

[nebenaube]

22. Relative of yours? n/t

[Xipe Totec]

29. No, relatives to each other nt

[joeybee12]

23. Please, please, please let this be real!!!!! n/t

[davidwparker]

24. Very good

Yes, Ringo IS very lucky.

[davidwparker]

25. Very good

Yes, Ringo IS very lucky.

[davidwparker]

26. Hmmm. I always wondered how people got two replies to post. Now, I know

how.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

30. I love "John Sheridan" *apologies*

Babylon 5 fans will know what I mean! ;-)

[zonkers]

33. I call BS on the Ringo dis. He is a most skilled drummer and a wonderful person. The band was lucky

to have him.

[Cetacea]

35. Georg Martin said that you could synch a metronome to him.

Or other words to that affect. A seriously excellent drummer.

[ithinkmyliverhurts]

36. You forgot the sarcasm emoticon.

But I suppose it's SO obviously sarcasm that no one would mistake your sentiment for being genuine.

Oh, Ringo.

[Darth_Kitten]

48. George Harrison was very talented, and a more soulful, original man than Paul could EVER be.

Just saying.... :)

[XOKCowboy]

68. In fact before the Beatles hit it big....

Ringo was the star in one of the biggest bands in England.

[Stardust]

34. Excellent. That is all.

[Synnical]

38. Un Rec

Just silly and rude and not worth the bandwidth.

[brucefan]

40. Party pooper!

:evilgrin:

[FirstTimeVoterAt37]

42. I see where you're coming from...

...but in times like this, I say take your catharsis where you find it.

[Canuckistanian]

45. Lighten up, Francis

In fact, I'll rec this just because you unrec'ed it.

[Paladin]

57. I'll Add My Rec, For The Same Excellent Reason (n/t)

[HughMoran]

56. lol

worst post ever - wish I could unrec your post 1000 times.

[Omaha Steve]

44. Vegetarian, liberal, and activist

K&R!

[Ignis]

46. +1

:toast:

[BrklynLiberal]

49. I hope he reads your words, verbatim, to the press.....

[onenote]

50. did boehner demand Jay Leno apologize for these jokes?

Jay Leno On Bush's Presidential Library: "$300 Million - That's Almost $150 Million Per Book"

The George W. Bush library design was unveiled by former First Lady Laura Bush. Did you know that she was a librarian when she first met George? Did you know that? In fact, she's the only thing he ever checked out of a library."—Jay Leno

Jokes about bush and libraries are hardly new.

[Sebastian Doyle]

75. For that matter, did Boner demand an apology from Pickles herself

...when she told a joke about Chimpy milking a male horse? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQ3HIozYPJs

[Wizard777]

52. That is all. I am Sir Paul. Coo coo ca choo.

:rofl:

[Richardo]

53. Another example of why satire should be left to professionals

It's not as easy as it looks.

[hiphopnation]

54. Alternative response:

Sir Paul: "Who's John Boehner?"

[HughMoran]

55. Paul is a fucking funny man

We could use a hundred people like this making public commentary. I can't believe we've fallen to where we are - where any position - no matter how inanely stupid - can be argued by right-wing media and not properly dismissed by what used to be the 'real' media. We don't have any real media any more. It's propaganda vs. propaganda and the truth is rarely even clear any more as the waters are so muddy. Thanks Paul!!

[Mosaic]

58. Good one

Boner should apologize to the American people for being such a useless, vain idiot.

[colsohlibgal]

59. "Here's Another Clue For You All"

Paul rocks, always had always will. Coo Coo Ca Choo.

[paparush]

60. I love the soothing sound . . . of Freeper heads exploding!

Well done, sir Paul!

[Historic NY]

61. Wahhhhhhhhhh...cry me a river nice going Sir Paul * was a whanker.

[Chulanowa]

62. I'm trying to imagine McCartney saying "Douche-wankery"

[JerseygirlCT]

63. One comment

(and credit to my husband for this) Sounds more like what Lennon might have said.

But still, very funny, so thank you!

[BAPhill]

64. I'm sure Sir Paul doesn't care what they think.

He isn't a politician and he isn't a citizen of this country.
What bonehead ought to get from this is that foreigners didn't respect out last president much.

[Shining Jack]

65. K&R n/t

[ooglymoogly]

66. Leave the cheeze doodl alone....that is all. kr nt

[upi402]

69. House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) uses prostitutes

Loads of 'em. His day will come soon enough.

[KonaKane]

70. "Tanned-douche wankery" Priceless!!!

I admit I never much liked The Beatles but this may push me over the lip of fan-dom.

[marias23]

72. When the Repubs Apologize for Agnew, Nixon, Reagan and the two Bushs..,

McCartney should apologize too! :)

[Imagevision]

73. Do the tax payers foot the tab for Boner's Tanning sessions?

[Orsino]

74. "Tard" is offensive, and not funny.

I'm sure you meant well, but that was a fail.

[northofdenali]

76. John Lennon wouldn't have apologized, either.

He would've used the Boner's outrage in his next platinum hit.

[northofdenali]

77. Ooops - PS, K&R, love the "quote that isn't" !!!! n/t

79. Sir Paul, don't apologize. It's Boehner, Bush, and their ilk that need to apologize

and plead for the world's mercy for the karmic shitstorm they've created.
