Soldier's funeral was not a 'function'

Nothing but a campaign stop for Knoll.

What is it with Democrats and funerals? The Wellstone carnival sideshow spectacle, now this funeral crashing.

Shame on that bag for showing up at the funeral.

[cripplecreek]

Real classy.

Lt. Gov. Catherine Baker Knoll is a great American Hatriot.

Her efforts should be condemned.

"I'm glad she didn't sit down next to me and say those things," Goodrich said. "I would have smacked her on the spot."

[tuvals]

Another example of a self-centered, classless and incompassionate fool who follows the rule, it's all about me! For Shame!

[nuconvert]

She slipped into a pew next to an aunt. Family usually sits up front. If you're not family, you sit in the back.

[Vigilanteman]

Goodrich has more patriotism in a hangnail than Knoll has in her entire body. If she had smacked Knoll and I'd been there, I would have applauded.

Ahh if today's liberals ONLY felt shame, the World would be a better place....

let's be honest. democrats have used this war and every terrorist attack as a weapon against the administration and for themselves.

thus the American people fight a war of both heart and words, against the monsters themselves but also against the politicians who use circumstances to try to regain power.

this is nothing short than POLITICAL TERRORISM. there is nothing they will not do to gain some advantage from grief and tragedy.

fire bombing behind our line of defense, they attempt to instill fear and uncertainty into the American populace. they weaken our resolve by questioning every motive, every action and every mindset of our military and our patriotism.

they are POLITICAL TERRORISTS.

It reminds me of Hillary's cynical attempt to grab face time and brownie points at the concert for firefighters and police officers right after 9/11. She received a loud, well-deserved booing.

"I feel your pain..."

"Now, can I count on your vote?"

Knoll, 74,

Old enough to know better, but obviously as tone deaf as lots of other democrats. Wow!

Surely a phone call to the family by her secretary before she 'dropped in' would have been appropriate.

[silverleaf]

Call the men in white jackets to bring their nets- the Pennsylvania Lieutenant Governor has escaped from the attic again!

[johnny7]

When you've never been in a church... the ignorant behave accordingly.

[silent_jonny]

LOL--I had no idea what Knoll looked like, but I kept picturing Hillary. I wasn't far off! And check out that gigantic eagle pin she's wearing. Overcompensation.

[nuconvert]

A copy of that original tape, (which was edited for later airing) , needs to be played over and over, maybe used in a commercial, when Hillary decides to enter the race. Also, the fact that she was on vacation and didn't hurry back, and that she attended very few funerals.
Her behavior and the people's response to her after 9/11, need to be 'front and center' if she runs. It will destroy any chances of her winning.

[johnmecainrino]

Notice how when a republican does something wrong the article points out in the headline and in text many times that it was a republican but when it is a democrat there is a double standard and there is little or no mention of it.

If it was a republican it would have been republican lt governor.

[PGalt]

Well stated comments. BTTT!
