John Boehner Demands Paul McCartney Apologize For Bush Jab

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.

"Like millions of other Americans, I have always had a good impression of Paul McCartney and thought of him as a classy guy, but I was surprised and disappointed by the lack of grace and respect he displayed at the White House," Boehner said in a statement. "I hope he'll apologize to the American people for his conduct which demeaned him, the White House and President Obama."

McCartney made the remark earlier this week during a tribute concert at the White House, during which President Obama presented him with the Gershwin Prize for Popular Song. No response yet from the former Beatle.

Demand away Mr Boehner, Bush's goons are no longer available to eject persons for wearing the wrong t-shirt or otherwise expressing views Dubya doesn't like.

Ok, John tell you what. America will ask Sir Paul to apologize for what he said at work the other day - if you apologize for what you did at work today.

btw, I think McCartney mis-spoke. Of course King George knows what a library is; just not where to find one... or why.

We should demand apologies from every birther in the nation, esp Sen Vitter from La., every person who compares Obama to Hitler, claims he's a terrorist, Socialist, Communist, Fascist, etc., etc.

Boehner's become a real comedy hound. McCartney's not going to apologize to any Military / Industrial / Congressional Con men opportunist... hack-Murderin', Political Dynasty Breeding, Vampirin', Crony-Cracker-Cartel Thieves. Or anyone orange.

Don't forget Mr. Boehner - BP stands for Bush's People.

Mr Boehner you have no right to even ask Sir Paul to appologize to anyone for comments made in the land of the free home of the first amendment. You sir are Orange and that offends me. I demand you appologize for frightening small children and the elderly with your Orangeness. Get a Tattoo that says Sunkist or something. We are changing your name to Kirby Hoover Eureka because you.........clean alot.

Boehner hasn't seen the inside a library in awhile, too, I'd suspect. Unless maybe someone was pouring him a scotch in their private library while slipping him some funds for his votes...

I'd say Boehner is about as dumb as Bush, but at least W. had the sense to stop drinking.

Sorry Johnny, no need for Paul to apologize for the truth. He's not a Republican lap dog like Tony Blair was!
