The family of a Marine who was killed in Iraq is furious with Lt. Gov. Catherine Baker Knoll for showing up uninvited at his funeral this week, handing out her business card and then saying "our government" is against the war.

So she wants to hand out her business card, eh?

Just what did we elect in PA?

FAT Eddie the Teamster Thug, and a senile bimbo...All because Mike Fisher was booooring

Costa Rica is looking better and better every day...note to self: Work on Spanish.

One can easily infer that she is a RAT from her boorish behavior!

[Ditto]

This goofy old bitch needs to be run out of the state on a rail for this stunt. She has never been anything but a political hack. She is half crazy and the absolute worst thing about Rendell is that we are one Philly Cheese-steak away from this crack pot becoming governor.

Her email is

**lieutenant-governor@state.pa.us

Here's a prediction: If this woman ever runs for Governor, her face is suddenly going to look a lot smoother. Jennifer Granholm she ain't.

Get someone with half a brain to run against her and it could.

One thing about female politicians, (maybe not there, but definitely here), they don't get the kind of latitude male politicians get.

Here, female politicians are expected to always exude the air of the "Southern belle", even if they are independent women.

Right now, we have this New Jersey native running for Mayor, she is a female, and quite honestly, many of her positions would normally be popular with many of our residents.

The problem for her is, she is a New Jersey native and acts like one. She oversteps what many see as the acceptable bounds for a female politician, and because of this, she has basically been shut out of it downtown. I know people who like her positions who would never support her because of the approach she takes

Fast Eddie Rendell was the one who fought like hell to prevent military absentee ballots from being counted in the last election. He backed off once his scheme got some public attention. He didn't back off -- the DOJ went after him... And they won in court...

[GiveEmDubya]

If I'm not mistaken, there's an election next year. Ride Fast Eddie and this shameless witch out of town. Better yet, PA FReepers should contact their state and local officials. There's no reason why a sleaze like herself should remain in office for her actions.

**lieutenant-governor@state.pa.us

Her e-mail address, folks. And apparently the
double stars are part of it.

Sorry I don't technical kind of ability to
supply the link.

[L.N. Smithee]

Don't you remember the Dem's behavior at Wellstone's funeral. They turned it into a circus.

And don't let any libs who quote from Al Franken's Lies book tell you booing for Trent Lott couldn't be heard on live television. There were at least two live FR threads going at the time, and it is on the record that posters heard it happen.

[Calvinist_Dark_Lord]

I hope they sue the state, as she is representing the state in this capacity, and then I hope they sue her personally!

Unfortunately, one cannot sue the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without it's permission. Under FAT Eddie, how likely is that to be?

[mabelkitty]

That's the way it is for all government lawsuits.
I highly doubt Rendell can stop it.
They file suit, a judge would certainly go along with their complaint, and either they take it to the Supreme Court and give it maximum press coverage, or they wisely agree the suits may proceed.

"Our government is against the war?"

Who does she work for?

North Korea? Cuba?

[SunnySide]

Good grief she looks like she was spawned from the same cess pool as Hillary, Albright and Reno. Shiver LOL! Go ahead, tell me Knoll and Albright aren't cut from the same cloth. They appear to use the same hair coloring too. Albright

[SunnySide]

Asked to comment on Goodrich's complaints about Knoll's conduct at the funeral, the aide said that "would be inappropriate."

But Knolls uninvited appearance and passing out her business card(self absorbed witch) at a private funeral is not considered inappropriate by them.

Demo-Sybils = Circle jerkers

[I still care]

There is nothing wrong in a government official coming to a soldier's funeral. I respected Guiliani when he showed up at every single funeral for 9/11.

But you are supposed to restrict your comments to, "I'm so sorry to hear of your loss and I extend condolences" unless asked otherwise.

My gut feeling she is part of the insane kook left that has been convinced by the MSM everyone hates the war and Bush, especially the bereaved.

[BladeLWS]

If I was part of that family I would of walked up to her and punched her lights out. Then have her arrested for tresspassing.

[SunnySide]

Gawd check out her official head shot on the left of your post, majorly touched up and airbrushed. Doesn't even resemble the hag.

[Ros42]

Thanks for the contact info...my keyboard is still smoldering after FIRING them off to the beech!! This just infuriates me!
