Referring to McCartney’s remark that “after the last eight years, it’s good to have a president that knows what a library is,” Mark Hemingway points out:
Yeah, it would also be good to have White House guests who knew that the former president’s wife has a masters degree in library science and worked as a librarian. There’s even a grant program at the Institute of Museum and Library Services called the “Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Program” which awards grants of up to $1 million…
Just because McCartney would like to forget all about his last wife doesn’t mean he should ignore the accomplishments of George W. Bush’s.
Ouch! I actually had forgotten about the lopsided shrew who soaked McCartney for 50 million bucks. It’d be good to have a Beatle who knows what a golddigger is!
It should be pointed out that McCartney committed this faux pas after Obama had left the room. This is fortunate for Obama, who wasn’t caught on camera again laughing at his enemies being insulted, like when Wanda Sykes wished death on Rush Limbaugh. Not very bipartisan, huh?
The optics were bad enough already:
