Meanwhile, headline on the Minneapolis Star and Sickle website reads:

“Obama thrills crowd as he honors Mandela in South Africa”.

Industrial-strength stupid from our media. As usual.

That was Ron Brown. The Wellstone one became a full on political rally.

Is that what happens at a funeral? The crowd gets thrilled?

I don’t remember ever being thrilled while at a funeral

Did you ever see the Wellstone memorial? I watched it on live television. It was an utter embarrassment.

It was such an embarrassment that the sitting Governor of Minnesota, Governor Turnbuckle, Jesse Ventura — yes, THAT Jesse Ventura — got up and left.

Helle Thorning Schmidt

Obviously, she should have been seated next to Billy Jeff, who could better appreciate her lack of guilt.

“We, too, must act on behalf of justice. We, too, must act on behalf of peace,” said Obama, who like Mandela became the first black president of his country. Obama said that when he was a student, Mandela “woke me up to my responsibilities — to others, and to myself — and set me on an improbable journey that finds me here today.”

Lot of “me” in there.

The big takeaway from this is that somehow, Baraq thinks he has a responsibility, to anything.

Fred was different...he’d just give Esther one across the lip. Fred Sanford was easily 100x the man Obastard is.
