Crack OD?

B set him up.

[Yaelle]

It is a helluva drug.

[Cowboy Bob]

They will have to screw him into the ground to bury him.

[Slings and Arrows]

He cracked under pressure.

[dfwgator]

Now they’ll get to smoke his ashes.

[Dagnabitt]

First Lincoln, then Reagan, and now...it’s too much, too much......can’t talk right now.

[Junior_G]

The sadness is too much for me. I am going to have to raise a glass to the sky and giggle.

[South40]

George H W Bush’s fault.

There will be higher ranking Obama administration officials at Barry’s funeral than there were at Margaret Thatcher’s.

[StormEye]

Who “set him up” this time?

Unfortunately it takes death to get rid of some crooks.

I lived and worked in the D.C. area during the Barry regime of the 80's. It was the most dysfunctional, corrupt, inept, nepotistic, hedonistic, jumpin' jive-ass Banana Republic ghetto administration you could imagine, x10. Barry was to politics what Al Sharpton is to the current snivel rights bowel movement. Jeezus, I felt like I was living on another planet. Twenty-odd years later, I still feel like I'm trying to get the smell of it out of my nose. In some cases, literally. *WHUFFFFF*

[clearcarbon]

Are they going to inter him at Yucca mountain?

[Windflier]

Did he go up in smoke?

Other than that, he was an alright mayor, right?

[Celtic Conservative]

No need to enbalm him, what with all those chemicals in his system.
