Weve 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 Reagans 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 Kerrys 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 Kerrys 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 Bushs eulogy (which we guarantee will not be self-serving like Senator Kerrys 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 Reagans 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 Reagans 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.
The one he'd carry out of church for the cameras, just before getting a Lewinski behind the oral office.
Typical lib. Symbolism over substance.
oops......have shook = have shaken
well, the cool thing is Kerry has to admit that this conservative republican President was good for America.
Does anyone know who will be speaking this evening at the Rotunda ceremony???????????? Thanks
Lemme correct the above point scoring for you:
-10 points for having the AUDACITY to show up, and deduct 100 points for turning it into a photo-op.
You must have a defective keyboard, lemme help you out here:
Nancy Pelosi is a SANCTIMONIOUS Witch!!!
I think you answered the first part of your question with the last part of it!
I think you are being far to cynical in this whole moment.
Now Kerry's campaign is talking about Optimism...he's paying respects publicly to Reagan. You need to cool your partisan jets and take a look around, THAT'S A BIG WIN FOR AMERICA.
So he's insincere? Who cares, when is he not? The important point is how this discharges the hatred fueling the other side. Reagan's magnanimous character is winning the day once again, and it appears you are hurting that outcome by being so provacative. Let them tag along, let them piggy back, its wonderful. In the end it will insure his Mondale/Carter-like failure, malicious Anger was the only thing pushing that campaign, without it it will collapse on its own immorarilty...just like the USSR.
