We’ve heard of gate-crashers, party crashers, but never Funeral Crashers (unless you count the hilarious scene in the movie ‘Clerks”). That was, until today. Senator John Kerry announced today that he will be attending President Reagan’s funeral. Our only question is “Was he invited?”
Sure, we know that many dignitaries and other Senators will attend, but how many announce it so publicly, and make a point of stopping by the memorial for 20 minutes (doing what for 20 minutes?) with a photographer?
Not only that, but the blatantly hypocritical Catholic (In Name Only) made sure the cameras caught him closing his eyes, making the sign of the cross, bowing his head in reverence and mumbling a prayer. We wonder if that “prayer” mirrored the bile he is allowing to be spewed on his campaign website?
Are we saying Kerry’s being insincere in his actions for the benefit of the cameras and to keep himself in the spotlight? Well, only he knows for certain. But given his pathetic need to be loved and be the center of attention our money is on him being a press whore.
In fact, the major reason Kerry gives for allegedly liking President Reagan and President George H.W. Bush is that they met with him more than does the current President Bush Can you imagine someone so shallow as to base their like or dislike of another person on the numbers of times they see them? Cry me a freaking river. And does he really think we are dumb enough to believe he would stop criticizing President Bush if he were invited over for tea?
But, to Kerry‘s credit he is not throwing a temper tantrum because he is not invited to speak, unlike the no class former President Bill Clinton. Congratulations Senator - you have a little more class than Der Slickmeister. Quite an accomplishment there.
Getting back to his attendance at the Reagan funeral, Kerry knows that by attending he is ensuring the press will be cutting to show him in attendance while listening to President Bush‘s eulogy (which we guarantee will not be self-serving like Senator Kerry‘s “appearance“ today).
We think, however, that whenever they cut to him appearing to be somber, they should do a "split screen". While showing hsi picture on one side of the screen, they could run text in the other half of the screen so that the viewer reads all the negative, hateful, and untrue comments Kerry made about President Reagan while he was alive. Doing so would surely belie his claims of how much he liked President Reagan while he was alive.
We know the Reagan’s are far too classy to think of something like what we propose below, but we are at crushkerry.com are not bounded by such niceties. We think that anyone should be allowed to attend the funeral with one caveat.
Any politician, current or former world leader, or other notable person who attends must be screened.
Roped off in one corner would be Senators Kerry and Kennedy, Presidents Carter and Clinton, damn near the entire Democratic Senate and House Caucus, Mikhail Gorbachev, and the rest of the losers, communists, and socialists who thought that Reagan was a nothing but a war mongering buffoon that hated the poor.
However, in the other section of honor would be Margaret Thatcher, Lech Walesa, George W. Bush and others with similar characteristics and goals shared by President Reagan. All of the people in this section would be those who played or are playing a part in achieving what will be the ultimate legacy of Ronald Reagan - freedom of all people from tyranny.
Imagine the stark contrast that such a divide would easily create for the viewer. On one side those whose ideas and ideology have ended up, in President Reagan’s words, “on the ash heap of history”. On the other would be those who have devoted their lives to freeing enslaved people, and fought to save civilization against anarchy and tyranny.
And we all know what side of that line John Kerry would be on.
Does anyone know if this phony jumped the line ahead of all the peons?
Second that.
Exactly.....Kerry could not wait til Friday...he would have been lost in the crowd of mourners....Money shot, indeed!
Thank you for the ping!
Clinton had that great TV prop, a 5 pound bible under his arm.
The pubbies don't want a wellingstone joke,like the demwits did.
If he waited in line with regular folk it would have been reported. He cut in line and took time away from people who waited for hours, and ended up being turned away.
Hey! Kerry's time is much more important than yours or mine - besides he doesn't want to waste four hours on a dead republican - unless of course he can get his voter registration card...
Thanks. Didn't know about him being inside the rope line. Interesting. We'll check it out. Can you send me a source on that so we can maybe update the article?
Over at that "Catholic Answers" Website there were people saying they were going to vote for him.
I just don't get it.
How can you vote for a total scumbag, even if you're a liberal?
Why was he allowed within the rope line? No-one else was.
They're probably cafeteria Catholics. Just like Jean.
No, he cut...
From what I've heard, Peggy Noonan plans on waiting in line. Shows the difference between those with class, and those without.
I have more to say, but fear I would suffer the fate of Sabertooth, who has been either banned or suspended.
I don't think he should have shown up, especially with a cameraman tagging along. Oh well, rules are for other people, not Kerry.
bttt
How disgraceful. Seeing this guy makes me get sick to my stomach.
You are right! I should have known better than think that he would have wasted his important time. He is a Vietnam Vet you know. Isn't he?
Perfect title.
