Paul McCarthney Insults Half The Voters Of America

Paul McCartney is on a Insult-Americans-Tour accepting the Gershwin Prize from the US Library of Congress. Maybe he was sad that there wasn't a Yassar Arafat Music Award?

Oh well, maybe next year.

While insulting Americans who did not vote for Obama, McCartney said how nice it was to have, as Pam Meister at Big Hollywood reports, "... a president who knows what a library is.” Referring to George Bush, of course.

The implication is that Obama is a reader, though I don't see any evidence of it. Even so, it would only prove that even when people do have access to libraries, spend time in them, check out their books, and take them home to read, they might never benefit from it in a meaningful way.

It seems that Americans are in a pickle--caught between two presidents who, whether they read vociferously or not, are dumb as dirt. We can only hope things will change.

And so, it now appears that book reading has even had little effect on Paul McCartney, as he wasn't able to keep himself from insulting nearly half of the voting public and doesn't seem able to understand that reading won't necessarily give us a good president.

Perhaps someone should send Mr. McCartney a copy of Miss Manners Rescues Civilization to read? Oh wait, that might be futile.

Never mind. It is probably a waste of time and money.
