Paul McCartney (after receiving the Gershwin Prize for Popular Song, a lifetime achievement award bestowed by the Library of Congress):

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

Rep. John Boehner (R-Ohio): “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. I hope he’ll apologize to the American people for his conduct which demeaned him, the White House and President Obama.”

Teach him a lesson, burn his damn records!

Oh, wait…
