who is this priest on Fox now???HUH??
how about all the abortions?
This is going to be painful!
Oh man...how long is Fox gonna broadcast this? I’m flipping to the Weather Channel.
Thank God for baseball.
Curious that Obama isn’t speaking.
These vocal runs on God Bless America are just horrible...
What!? No drinking songs? Heck, they should at least do “Bridge Over Troubled Water”!
Oh God help me....its the worst trainwreck ...I don’t want to watch it, but there is a macrabre part of me that has to look..
Of course, a Black woman screeching God Bless America ( I thought they hated and weren’t proud of this country)...Black and white people as backdrop..this woman thinks she is on American Idol!
He wasn’t going to be at the burial, either.
was that a Catholic priest? dear, God.....help us.
It’s like our most valued president has died.
What is it with the media? I just hope this aids their spiral into nothingness and bankruptcy.
Let’s hope this is tasteful and classy, unlike the Wellstone “Memorial” side-show. As far as these things go, Reagan’s was the best I’ve ever seen, deservedly-so.
TOTUS will speak tomorrow.
who is that shouting about how many people? sounded drunk
I just turned off Fox, too.
Since they’re “fair and balanced,” do you think we could get them to cover a “Ted Kennedy is dead! Let’s have a PARTY!” celebration? Oh, now... so sorry. That’s unbecoming. I forgot. Ted was a great American. Respected on either side of the aisle for his great wit, tolerance and humanity.
Barf me a river. Politicians are never more disgusting than when they wail over one of their own dead.
Oh, hadn’t you heard?
He will be now at the level of Priest..doing the homily at a Catholic Mass...which is supposed to be done only by a priest or deacon.
Oh what the hell...What’s a religion ? Mass..Schmass..its just not impt in this society!
Anyone know why they call it a wake?
that was painful.......
