SHUT UP AND SING: When it comes to
politics, figures like Sir Paul McCartney
should just "Let it Be."
While few can write a catchy little ditty like Sir Paul McCartney, I defy anyone to demonstrate what his qualifications as a climatologist or environmental scientist might be. Alas, hot off of entertaining Barack and Michelle Obama at the White House and making unwelcomed insulting comments about former President George W. Bush, Sir Paul opines, “Some people don't believe in climate warning -- like those who don't believe there was a Holocaust."
Well, good day sunshine! It appears the former Beatle has trouble confusing a matter of fact versus a matter of theory, and that theory has been called into question by many who are far better qualified to render judgment than a bass playing singer-songwriter does.
As if that nonsense isn’t bad enough, Macca also weighed in on the Obama administration’s dreadful response to the Gulf oil disaster, stating, “I don’t accept the criticism of Barack over the oil spill.” Well, Sir Paul, how about a little trip down to the Bayou and talk to the people down there and see what they have to say and maybe drop a few quid to help them deal with their hardships.
As if Bruce Springsteen, John Mellencamp, Michael Stipe, Sting and Willie Nelson among many others haven’t added enough idiotic blather to the discussion of many important issues, it seems like Paul McCartney seeks his seat at the table of know-nothing entertainment blowhards.
Thankfully, he still has a long way to go to equal the political stupidity of his fellow songwriting partner, John Lennon.
