Paul McCartney accepts the Gershwin prize in DC
Said The Washington Post:
"In a few short years, they changed the way we heard music," Obama said of the Beatles before presenting McCartney with the prize. He added that he was "grateful that a young Englishman shared his dreams with us."
But then it all went awry for the wingnuts...
During his acceptance speech, McCartney joked “after the last eight years, it’s great to have a President who knows what a library is," c*ntservatives went into fake outrage mode as usual.
John Boehner said "I hope he'll apologize to the American people for his conduct". Wha..?
As usual, Republicans pretend it's the American people, not them, who are offended whenever anyone pricks their notoriously thin skin. Talk about presumption verging on psychological projection.
How f*cking dare John Boehner equate the mores of his tawdry minority cult with the majority values of the American people. How f*cking dare he imply bad-mouthing Bush somehow oversteps the line of community decency and offends Americans in general.
Maybe one day we can declare a ban on pols using the term 'American people' in every statement as shorthand for 'this is my dumb opinion but I'm trying to make you think everyone agrees with me'?

It IS good to have a president who knows what a library is and is also very familiar with it's usage.
ReplyDeleteIt's also nice to have one who has read the Constitution of the United States. . . also taught law school classes on it.
It's nice. . . oh I could go on.
