Fox Asshat Commentator, Mike Gallagher, makes laughable comment about Ford Funeral No-Shows
Edited on Sun Dec-31-06 04:16 AM by themartyred
Conservatives were quick to condemn Reid and Durbin, who proceeded with four other senators on a trip to South America, knowing they would miss the rites in Washington. "He's the incoming Senate majority leader, for crying out loud, and he can't even show a little bit of respect?" commentator Mike Gallagher demanded on Fox News.

From msnbc.com story.

Okay, he throws a shit fit about a couple senators not showing up for PRESIDENT Ford's funeral, when the current pResident, as the story points out, is cutting brush in Texas???????? Maybe Shrubya thought everyone would point out to him that neither one was elected to serve?!

3. nowwww, does the decider have to give one?
"President Bush sent his regrets; he was cutting cedar and riding his bike on his ranch in Texas." from the story.

Apparently, Ford told him he was a loser, why else would the SITTING PRESIDENT not attend a former President's funeral? WHAT A SORRY SOB. (I've seen his mother, I can say that. She's got a "beautiful mind" as she says. Beautiful must mean spiteful in Bushese.)

5. Bush just didn't go???
I was wondering where he was, it never occurred to me that he just didn't go. What really pisses me off is that nobody has said a word about it. I'm miffed that our senators didn't go too, but the goddamn PRESIDENT??? If we can't remember our common heritage enough to honor our former Presidents, then we're just really fucked.

7. The Rummy was delayed by snow
Light snow in northeastern New Mexico.

Sorry that's Rummy, not the Rummy. He wasn't able to get a flight - even tho' he has known for 4 days he was to be an honorary pallbearer.

As far as I know THE Rummy is cutting brush

9. That was NOT the funeral! The funeral is Tuesday!
And unfortunately for us all the current resident will be there, or so we are told.
