Kerry 'Bit His Lip' Before Reagan's Casket, Newspaper Says

(CNSNews.com) - Sen. John F. Kerry bowed his head and put his hand over his heart as he stood before President Ronald Reagan's coffin on Tuesday. "Entering the lobby, Kerry paused in silent reflection at the foot of the mahogany casket and bit his lip before making the sign of the cross and then stepping away," the Boston Globe reported. Former President Bill Clinton was frequently photographed biting his lower lip. The Boston Globe reported that many other Democrats will pay their respects to Ronald Reagan - when his body arrives in Washington. Kerry was in California for his daughter's graduation from film school. He suspended his campaign activities this week out of respect to Reagan, but the decision has virtually sidelined him at a time when President Bush is very much in the headlines.

Why did he make the sign of the Cross? Reagan wasn't Catholic and this wasn't in a sacred setting.

A salute would be appropriate. I suppose Kerry is still courting the Catholic vote.

Kerry may have bit his lip and said he suspended his campaigning during this week of national mourning, but that ad of his is running ad nauseum here in Virginia. I have to restrain myself from ruining my TV with something heavy when I see it!

Teresa is staying under the radar. Believe she knows she could blow more holes in Kerry's campaign.

It's frightening to think that SOB might actually win. We've already had one of those, and one is quite enough.

Catholics are important in Pennsylvania. It's all about Pennsylvania.

"Now, I've fought all my life for peace. I fought against the war in Vietnam. When I came home, I fought against Ronald Reagan's illegal war in Central America."

"I'm not going to characterize other people, but while he (Clark) was voting for Richard Nixon and for Ronald Reagan, I was fighting against both of their policies and what they did, frankly, to the average working person in this country and to some of our hopes and dreams."

"We lost one of our great optimists. President's [sic-President] Reagan's belief in America was infectious, and because of the way he led, he taught us that there was a difference between strong beliefs and bitter partisanship."

More JFnK flip-flops.

Why doesn't this mention the nice thumbs-up Kerry threw from inside his limousine afterwards? What a jerk.
