John Boehner is demanding an apology from Paul McCartney

[jenmito]

for making the joke about Bush not knowing what a library is. :rofl: (Just reported on MSNBC.)

[gateley]

1. Do these people have nothing better to do? I'm embarrassed for them. nt

[jenmito]

5. Obviously not. n/t

[madmax]

2. Bonehead!

I'm sure Sir Paul is writing the apology right now. NOT! :rofl:

[jenmito]

8. I wish he'd make a joke about Boehner!

:rofl:

[xxqqqzme]

66. Boner IS the joke.

[Aramchek]

3. Paul McCartney is a badass

[livetohike]

4. Poor John Boehner, not much to do, eh?

:rofl:

[sakabatou]

6. Bitch, please...

[City Lights]

7. Don't cry about it Boner! You're tan may run!

What a baby. They can sure dish it out, but they can never take it. :eyes:

[Turbineguy]

9. That's silly

Everybody knows what a libary is.

It's where to go to bary lies.

[av8rdave]

10. Is he supposed to apologize for stating the truth?

:rofl:

[Enrique]

11. need to make this into a political ad

"you really want this moron to be Speaker?"

[hlthe2b]

12. Hopefully Paul will express...

how sorry he is not to have mentioned the obvious and unfortunate impacts of too much fake sunning on the American conservatives brain.. Hell, maybe he could hold a telethon to bring attention to conservative brain damage. ;)

[JuniperLea]

13. Oh, turn orange, you freak of nature!

Boner isn't worthy of being McCartney's toilet paper.

[Tempest]

14. Make Boner prove Bush knows what a library is

That should be fun.

[CreekDog]

15. That's ridiculous

Bush knows what a libary is. :D

[lob1]

16. So he's calling McCartney out for a joke. I haven't heard Boner call out BP

for their joke on humanity and nature.

[bluestateguy]

17. Fine

Here's how he should do it:

have a deputy press secretary issue a terse press release during the Friday PM news dump:

"Paul meant no harm with his remarks. If anyone was offended, he regrets that they feel that way."

[rocktivity]

18. Cry me a river, Boner

NO, WAIT--THAT'S JUST AN EXPRESSION!

I forgot his nickname is "The Grim Weeper!"

:scared:
rocktivity

[rurallib]

44. boner and the beckerhead should get together and cry over it.

[calico1]

19. Does Boehner know where the library is? n/t

[hlthe2b]

20. he'll do it......... "yesterday..".

or "When I'm 64" (Paul is 67)

[leftofcool]

45. Or when the last train leaves Clarksville!

[boppers]

54. HEATHEN!

How dare you associate the Monkees with the Beatles!

[jobycom]

21. yeah, pick on a Beatle. I'm sure you'll win that one, Johnny Two Tone. nt

[Bitwit1234]

22. But he didn't say a word about

this SC state senator who called President Obama a "raghead"..just shows the republicans priorities. They don't care if a statement is a slur and lie IF it is about a Democrat. But let someone tell the truth about a republican and they mess their shorts,. Mr Spray on Tan ought to use it on his mouth maybe we could get a deserved rest.

[jenmito]

31. Great point. n/t

[zulchzulu]

23. Sir Paul would ask "is that bloke's last name really boner?" and laugh his ass off

[Botany]

24. Good Luck w/ that Boner

The Beatles are famous for telling people to stuff it.

Remember what Ringo just said about the Pope and the Vatican?

[saracat]

25. Hey I want an apology from the Jonas brothers for existing and mangling McCartney's music

but that ain't gonna happen either. Boehner needs to suck it up. He is an idiot.

[Jamastiene]

26. My grandmother had the PERFECT saying for people like Boehner:

Wish in one hand and shit in the other and see which one gets full the quickest.

:evilgrin:

[DrToast]

27. Haha...I'm sure Bush loves Boner drawing attention to this

[JBoy]

28. "YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT HE DOESN'T!!"

[havocmom]

29. Has he demanded an apology from BP for deaths and pollution?

[90-percent]

30. MY hope

My hope is that Boehner gets the same response Frank Zappa gave the Jewish anti-defamation league when they wanted him to apologize for "Jewish Princess". He said he would consider it if they could prove his song was wrong.

Paul - you were right and have nothing to apologize for!

-90% Jimmy

[jillan]

32. Does Boehner seriously think McCartney gives a crap about what he thinks?

I bet Paul is laughing his arse off right now at Orangeman's comments.

[jenmito]

35. I bet he'll eventually want Obama to "distance himself" from the joke.

[yellowcanine]

37. Ka ching! We have a winner! Of course that is what is coming.

[jenmito]

38. Thanks. I'm counting the hours until that happens. But then the Dems. should turn to HIM and ask

him if HE'll distance himself from the "raghead" comment by the SC Repub.

[Dr.Phool]

33. Is he going to cry if he don't?

Fuck you boner.

[karynnj]

34. Ha Ha This in not 1965, where the Beatles career's needs made John Lennon sort of apologize

What is he going to do? Call for a bonfire of all the Beatles and McCartney albums?

[AtomicKitten]

36. Hilarious.

K&R

[yellowcanine]

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

- Sir Paul McCartney, 6/3/2010.

I found a new tag line.

[LiberalFighter]

40. Sooooo Sorry..... That you nearly destroyed America.

Sooooo Sorry..... That you didn't export all jobs.
Sooooo Sorry..... That hatred of America has gone down.
Sooooo Sorry..... That Obama is screwing up your life.

[Kookaburra]

41. Well I hope he holds his breath until he gets it

Blue is a much softer color than orange.

[Arkana]

42. Did his face become a brilliant shade of orange?

Oh, wait...it's ALWAYS like that.

[bleever]

43. Hey Oompa Loompa, that's SIR Paul to you.

[ProSense]

46. Steve Benen:

NOTE TO GOP: LET IT BE....


:rofl:

[jenmito]

47. Seriously.

:rofl:

[felinetta]

48. This is rich! Thanks BONER for giving me a really good laugh. You're such a douche bag.

[damonm]

49. People in Hell demand Ice Water, too...

do they get it?
There's your odds, Mr. Tanorexic...

[jenmito]

50. "Mr. Tanorexic"

:rofl:

[Cha]

51. "NOTE TO GOP: LET IT BE" It's big news what Paul McCartney

said about bush but does everyone know what bush said earlier the same day?

<snip>

.."But the right seems surprisingly worked up about this. Not only did National Review run a couple of angry items, House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio), the man who intends to be Speaker of the House this time next year, went so far as to issue a public statement, calling on Paul McCartney to "apologize to the American people for his conduct."

Seriously.

There are a few competing angles to this, but I'd like to emphasize just one. The same day McCartney told a harmless joke about George W. Bush's limited intellect, George W. Bush boasted about having ordered torture as president, and insisted he wouldn't change a thing if he had it to do over again.***

So, just so we're clear, a musician telling a Bush-is-dumb joke generates a fair amount of outrage in some conservative circles. A former president admitting to ordering torture -- bragging about utilizing a technique that the United States has long considered criminal, and has even prosecuted -- is completely fine.

One, in Boehner's mind, requires an apology; the other is a source of partisan pride.

There's something deeply wrong with this picture."

*** Paul was being kind.

One comment below article says.. "If Bush had ever gone into his library, he might have read about how waterboarding is actually torture."

[DebJ]

52. Boehner, go float on the Gulf for a couple of days. n/t

[saltpoint]

53. McCartney owes no apology to the fool on the Hill.

[wyldwolf]

62. !!! good one!

[saltpoint]

63. - - -

:hi:

[politicasista]

55. Orange Crush will have to stay waiting. LOL!

:rofl:

[LawnKorn]

56. Bush would respond

Bush's response would be that he has been in several libraries. In fact, he was in a South American library that had a few Brazilian books in it.

[otohara]

57. Compared to What Ted Nugent Has Said About Pres. Obama

saying he should be jailed, promotes Obama, Clinton and others suck on this AK47 at his concerts and worse.

Fuck John B

[tledford]

58. I'm certain McCartney is terrified. eom

[AspenRose]

59. Good luck with that John.

You bonehead.

[tomm2thumbs]

60. well by all means then, he should apologize.

Seems Boehner is still living in Bush country... and we know how that ended. Keep it up Boehner - next you'll be telling everyone to lay off Nixon.

[LibDemAlways]

61. Boehner is some two-bit moron who wishes he could garner a small fraction of

the attention McCartney gets. If he ever hears about this, Sir Paul will, no doubt, be laughing his ass off like the little smilie in your post.

[and-justice-for-all]

64. Fuck you Boehner, your just as stupid as shrub...nt

[cliffordu]

65. That oompa loompa needs to shut the fucking fuck up.

[BlueIdaho]

67. I think Paul McCartney is truly sorry...

That George Bush doesn't know what a library is... I know I am.

edit typo

[WeekendWarrior]

68. I don't remember Bush being mentioned by name by McCartney

How does bonehead know Paul was talking about him?
