It seems Paul McCartney is a little out of the loop and doesn’t realize all the cool kids stopped Bush bashing in 2008:

Paul McCartney was given the Gershwin Prize for Popular Song by President Obama last night at the White House on the behalf of the Library of Congress. In true liberal fashion Sir Paul didn’t waste the opportunity to bash former President Bush:

“After the last eight years, it’s great to have a president who knows what a library is.”

I guess Sir Paul doesn’t realize that President Bush read three books per week during his time at The White House. Nor does he realize that these books were on very heavy subject matter; he wasn’t reading Sue Gafton novels that one can finish in a day or two (not there is anything wrong with Gafton books).

Paul should stick to music and stop with the pathetic political swipes.

Besides, President G. W. Bush had much better taste in music.

Guitarist-singer Brian Setzer plays with his orchestra Thursday evening, June 29, 2006 in the East Room of the White House, during the entertainment following the official dinner in honor of Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi’s visit to the United States.

Speaking of Brian Setzer:

If you get a chance, go see Brian Setzer’s Christmas show. It’s fantastic.
