Paul's Barbara Bush moment

Paul McCartney is no doubt a fantastic bass player, a great songwriter, and probably a very nice man; but in every interview he turns into an unrepentant simp. This ran in today's Miami Herald:

''I generally tend towards the optimistic,'' McCartney says. 'But sometimes when you're looking around for something to write about, you say, `I've just done a few optimistic songs. Now, is there anything else going on in my life, or has there ever been anything else other than optimism?' And you cast around and you think, yeah of course there has, there's been rejected friendships, there's been times when you're not getting on with people, things like that. I've had plenty of those in my life.''

Barbara Bush anyone?
