Rendell to send apology to Marine's family
Pittsburgh Tribune ^ | 07/25/05 | Sandra Tolliver

Written apologies will be sent to a fallen Marine's relatives angered by Lt. Gov. Catherine Baker Knoll's uninvited appearance at the soldier's funeral and her criticism of the war in Iraq, Gov. Ed Rendell said Sunday.

Rendell said he will send a personal letter to the family of the late Marine Staff Sgt. Joseph Goodrich, of Westwood, and will ask Knoll to do the same. Goodrich, 32, a police officer and infantry unit leader, died July 10 in a mortar attack in Hit, Iraq.

Rendell said he hadn't spoken with Knoll about the incident, but was disturbed by the family's charge that she made a political statement against the war.

"It's not the business of state government to support the war, but our state supports the men and women who are fighting this war," Rendell said during an appearance in Mt. Washington.

Knoll is a Democrat. Rendell's attempt at damage control is lame. She may apologize because she has no choice but I doubt she has the mental acumen to understand what all the fuss is about. She simply doesn't get it.

Suggest you begin crusade to oust them in Philly. Win the city over before you make any celebration plans.

Fast Eddie? Do I detect a fellow Pennsylvanian, or is that how he's known everywhere?

Reprise: To the Tune of "No Particular Place to Go"

All wrapped up in liberal zeal
hoping to find some pain to feel.
I crashed the funeral of a Marine.
Just anti-war and runnin' wild.
My office work, it is so slow,
I’d no particular place to go

All wrapped up in liberal zeal
I’s anxious to tell ‘em the way I feel
So I spoke real softly and sincere
As I leaned and whispered in their ear:
”Who are you?” I’d like you to know
I’ve no particular place to go

No particular place to go
So, I bother folks from Kokomo
I needed to know they’d all been told:
I’m Lt. Governor Knoll!”
I don’t care the way they felt
An anti war blow I had dealt.

Ridin' along out on the loose
My face resemblin’ a moose
I hope that no one holds a grudge
And, please, don’t tell this to Matt Drudge.
I really put on quite a show.
I’d no particular place to go

It's not the business of state government to support the war

It is, and this guy is now on the carpet too.

There isn't anything lower than a union thug backed, liberal, anti-war, America hating, democrat. She should have be bitch slapped.

Look at his comments!

"It is not the business of the State to support the war"

Hello? Our Republic is a Union of 50 States! Not blue and red! What is the message that this idiot is sending to our troops? We support you but, not what you are fighting for? This moron needs to apologize for lying to our troops that just left Camp Shelby, MS. He was down there and now he is saying crap like this!
