Classy, eh? Andrew Kaczynski discovered this lovely eulogy from C-SPAN’s archives in which the man who wants to run Virginia said that his 83-year-old father couldn’t handle seeing a Republican President:
Terry McAuliffe, the Democratic candidate for governor of Virginia, once blamed his father’s death on President George W. Bush’s election in 2000.
In a May 2001 interview with C-SPAN, titled the “Life and Career of Terry McAuliffe,” the former Democratic National Committee chairman says one of the “reasons” his father, Jack, died was “he could not go into a new year knowing that a Republican was actually moving into the White House.”
While his father was in the hospital, McAuliffe’s mother “went and came back in five minutes later, and he had passed away. And I told the story, you know, I gave at the eulogy at his funeral, and there are many reasons why people thought Jack had died,” McAuliffe told C-SPAN. “He was 83 years old. And I said the main reason is that he could not go into a new year knowing that a Republican was actually moving into the White House. I just don’t think he could’ve handled that.”
“He had eight great years,” McAullife continued. “President Clinton and First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton were so nice to my mother and father, they’d come down all the time. So he had a great eight years when President Clinton and Vice President Gore were in office, and he just wasn’t going into a new year with a Democrat not being in the White House Steve, he just couldn’t handle it.”
Be sure to watch the video at BuzzFeed. I’ve heard a lot of “blame Bush” over the last five years, but this one takes the cake.
George Bush’s election killed my father and raped my mother!
Where did you find that date? btw, Clinton was still President on that date and would remain President for another 355 days.
Not to worry. I’m sure Jack still managed to fill out his absentee ballot in 2004, 2008, and 2012.
Sorry, I meant 2001.
I meant Dec 31, 2000.
About a month ago, I heard the biggest tinfoil whopper of them all:
George H.W. Bush was really an adopted Hitlerjungen!
Germans?

Every time McAuliff speaks a kitty dies.
He should be ashamed.
MAYBE OBAMA’S IMPEACHMENT WILL KILL TERRY MCAULIFFE...ONE CAN ONLY HOPE...
In 2000/2001, Jack McAuliffe could not stand the idea of a Republican in the White House. One American died.
Karl Marx claims to quote Hegel to the effect that everything in history happens twice, once as tragedy, the next time as farce.
Here we have a good example of that...since the Civil War was definitely a tragedy. As a good Marxist, Terry McAuliffe ought to appreciate the irony.
Of course the farce part may be only in his head--I'd like to see the death certificate and how it reports the cause of death.
LOL!
Forget it. He’s rolling.
Hell; while were wishing, maybe Obungholes just leaving office will kill every G#d D#mn#d progressive/liberal/communist/pantywaist piece of sh#t in the country.
I live in Californication, if it were to happen that way there would only be about 250 people left in this state.
Shhh, you’re on a roll...
