I also thought I saw three or four others do the same. Every time, he would turn to Schumer, and Schumer would just smile. Loved it!

It was not a "comfort smile."

Well, Turtie McTurtleface brought it on himself.

After that, it's Steny Hoyer, Kevin McCarthy, Chuck Schumer, McTurtle and Pelosi.

A pallbearer at Rep. Elijah Cummings's (D-Md.) memorial on Thursday shook hands with all top congressional leaders except Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).


Video captured the pallbearer, who has been identified in reports as Bobby Rankin, skipping McConnell while greeting a line of other senior lawmakers that included both Republicans and Democrats.

Our Kentucky has gone from the Bluegrass State to the Red Assed State.

We need some of Elijah Cummings' dignity and honor.

But some of the rest of us can take a wee bit of satisfaction from it. Hard not to watch that and at least smile a little.
