Unh - could it have had anything to do with the well documented antagonism between McCartney and Mr. Yoko Ono, or maybe Sir Paul felt he'd rather collect the royalties himself (oh, how capitalistically gauche! Uhg! you can almost hear the lefties whine)

That's leftism for ya. EVERYTHING has to be a propaganda event.

Please...

If a balanced budget is now a liberal position, then perhaps the Democrats hate the new budget because it doesn't have enough spending cuts.

Although, "Give Peace A Chance" would have been powerful if the beheading videos and WTC collapses were being shown in the background.

Oh, come now. "Peace" at a football game?? Isn't that a little - oh, I dunno - antithetical?

...antithetical

Sure, I'd say that's the why the letter is funny.

So we're against torture now? Nobody tells me anything.

'And maybe like, the Patriots could change their name to the World Citizens....'

darn those liberals! I didn't realize that marriage rights, torture, and fiscal balance were their issues. so what does that leave for anyone else? and does this mean they've traded in their platform of "Oppose Anything Republican" for rights to these juicy issues, which conservatives have heretofore held positions on? [can you hold a position on a position, or is that just fisking?] okay, I realize I'm just being perverse about the ill-phrased perverse. so don't vote for me.

but the thing about having Paul McCartney - certified icon - perform is that it would be almost a travesty for him not to do his own iconic material, unless it were a full-length concert and it was a nice touch for the crowd to hear something new by the, um, icon... my real question is what Ms. Leahy does in life that makes this the priority about which to take up pen to lodge a protest, ex post facto. personally, I devote my time to protesting Chappaquiddick after the fact.

Don't forget, that Yellow Submarine was a BIG YELLOW BALLISTIC MISSILE SUBMARINE OF DEATH!

I'm thinking he should have gone with "Fixing a Hole."
