" just like today Rep. Weiner (D) of New York was on Fox and said that it was okay for Bush to have swearing in ceremony on Jan 12, but because of the war and the tsunami, it would be in poor taste and just plain wrong to have the hoopla surrounging the inauguration."
Weiner should not have stopped there, to have any credibility.
He should introduce a bill in Congress mandating that all weddings, anniversary celebrations , birthday's, hotel receptions, cocktail parties , gallery openings, movie premieres, etc be banned until further notice.
No Hollywood awards shows, for sure.
Cancel the Oscars !
In fact, all forms of American enjoyment, including the NFL playoffs, The Super Bowl, college and high school basketball, cable and regular tv and Broadway theater and on and on, should go dark until the all clear is given.
And of course, all laughing should be suspended until the Democrats give the ok to smile again.
And supposedly this Rep Weiner (D-NY) is considered one of the more rational and 'moderate' Dems of the NY contingent. Sure wouldn't notice with his jumping into quicksand to help save all the already suffocating Dems who signed onto the "Boxer/Waters Rebellion"
