""As we honor Ronald Reagan today, we must never forget that 9-11 happened because Bill Clinton was too busy sodomizing interns to take Al Queda seriously.""

Would have been tacky as all get out but the truth's the truth!

[Jersey Republican Biker Chick]

Mrs. King was a dignified lady who held her head high and took on the challenges that confronted her in life.

I felt that those who turned her funeral into a political rally instead of a celebration of her life and accomplishments greatly disrespected her memory.

The service should have been about honoring her memory and not to push political agenda.

...he has put in place the means to DISMANTLE all the advances made through the work of the Kings, Carter and Clinton.

I have asked numerous black people what clinton or carter did for them. Have NEVER received an answer other than a lame "I can't think of one particular thing right now".

[freedumb2003]

Top 25?

[Charles Henrickson]

Egads.

Young man, you watch your phraseology!

Then there was his grandstanding in LaFayette Park for the First Day When Everything Finally Changed last June followed by the Second Day When Everything Finally Changed But Was Buried Under Hurricane Coverage last September.

That reminds me... I was sick over the weekend. Did the big rally down in DC wind up driving BushCo from office and installing John Kerry as President?

DUmmies admit that Mrs King's corpse made a useful PR prop:

Zanne: As liberals, we have to grab any opportunity we can to get the message out

Pacifist Patriot : democrats had a chance to make points without media intervention

[speed_addiction]

I watched that debacle unfold. I was expecting an assload of balloons and confetti to drop from the ceiling at any moment! I was embarrassed and I have no connection to the Democratic Party at all.


What We Are About To Do Here Is What The Good Lord Would Call A Cleansing of the Wicked. I Call It A Good Old Fashioned Texas Ass Kicking.

Don't disgrace her life with your obsession.

Might as well tell the sun not to rise in the east...

[kevkrom]

Any long-term fight for civil rights, workers rights and peace is going to INVOLVE POLITICS. It is, in point of fact, going to be ALL ABOUT politics.

No, Pitt, her life was about an idea (try and get one once in a while, and maybe you'll understand). Politics is only one of many ways to communicate and advance ideas. The political landscape is affected by ideas, ideas aren't created by politics.

[Fenris6]

I've found a new motto to paste under Dem bumper stickers:

Proud To Be A Democrat
We Use Dead Black People As Props

Kinko's here I come! :)

[doug from upland]

She was not being honored by Ralph Edwards on THIS IS YOUR LIFE. This was a funeral. Unfortunately, rather than sticking to honoring her life, some ***clowns used it for political theatre.

[Incorrigible]

Kristinn was there. There's a thread with some photos.

Let's put it this way, there were more porto-potties than there were wackos. Though the wackos had some nice posters like a big one showing the head of a beheaded GW Bush. Al Reuters printed a less inflamitory poster picture of coure.

[kevkrom]

So in other words... time to start planning the next Day That Everything Changed™?

[End Times Sentinel]

I felt that those who turned her funeral into a political rally instead of a celebration of her life and accomplishments greatly disrespected her memory.

And I felt it fell well short of the rip-roarin', snot snortin', rootin' tootin' Paul Welstone Memorial.  I'd meticulously constructed an effigy of W which I sent with NAACP strong man Kwambly Mumjumblywumbly to be burned during the ceremony, yet it was only burned off camera, outside the Church.  You can't trust those people to do anything right.

But perhaps we have a conflict in visions.

If the Dummies keep up this tact, it will be only their funeral.

[Mr. Silverback]

Top 50! I'm like a tortoise on speed!

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

"NAACP strong man Kwambly Mumjumblywumbly"

Don't do that when I'm drinking coffee! My sinuses are scorched and my keyboard has snot all over it.

[Charles Henrickson]

What, were they going to spend the day discussing her favorite songs?

Speaking of favorite songs, here's PITT'S favorite song, back from when he was glomming on to Mother Sheehan's publicity:

MAKE ME KNOWN, COUNTRY ROAD
Tune: "Take Me Home, Country Roads"

Almost hades, Crawford Texas
Bush Ranch protest, Sheehan doin' talk shows
Press is out there, underneath the tree
Lookin' for some talkers, might as well be me

Country road, make me known
To the place I belong
Guest opinion, TV pundit
Make me known, country road

All my DUmmies rally round me
Mindless, lazy, looking for a leader
Read my bloggings, written on the fly
Boring waste of bandwidth, glazing of the eye

Country road, make me known
To the place I belong
Guest opinion, TV pundit
Make me known, country road

I wear a hat, in the mirror I see Eastwood
The ladies on DU think I'm hot when I pose
But sweatin' in the sun I get the feelin'
That I should have worn some lighter clothes, lighter clothes

Country road, make me known
To the place I belong
Guest opinion, TV pundit
Make me known, country road
Make me known, country road
Make me known, country road . . .
