When the family of Staff Sgt. Joseph Goodrich gathered in Pittsburgh for the fallen Marine's funeral, they expected a large crowd – after all, they've lived in the area for generations and Joseph had been a police officer before becoming a leatherneck – but they didn't expect to see Pennsylvania's lieutenant governor show up, hand out her business card and tell them "our government" opposes the war...

Geez, I thought you had been put out of our misery. Go away you rude thoughtless ass. What this person did was crass and as they say down here tacky.
Hey, come on now. Lay off. She is a liberal. She naturally has no class. She knows no better.
And just what party do all those who were "indicted" belong to? Same as yours, I assume. The big D - which stands for Dumb
Which, by the way, is exactly what your apparent namesake in Congress was chosen 3 times- the "dumbest" Senator in Congress. Gotta make ya feel proud, huh?
Bush doesn't attend these "affairs", because they are funerals, not party "functions" or political "affairs", and he has the respect and decency to know that his presence would turn them into something else and doesn't want to turn them into a political forum... something Lt. Guv Knoll seems to not have even the slightest comprehension of. "Decency", that is. Talk about D for "dumb"!
Let's honor those dead by seeking a prompt end to Bush's ungodly Iraq war!
Are you so mentally deranged as to not have any better understanding of reality than this? Ummmm, oh yeah, you already illustrated that complete lack of functioning brain cells by allying yourself with "dumb and dumber" Patty.
Like the guy said, "Whatta maroon!"
We put in a call to the hospital, Mom. The orderlies know you sneaked into the computer room again.
Well, if lack of class were against the law there wouldn't be enough jails;-)
I'd be willin' to start buildin' 'em, though!
Ah, I see we have an agitator amongst us...
First of all, by President Bush taking the war to the middle east (Iraq) he is keeping most of the terrorists were we want them and not here. I would not call this counterproductive, even as painful as it may be. Believe me, I don't want our boys dying over there, but there is a price to be paid to keep our republic safe and by-God there is nothing in this world that I have received for free that was worth a damn.
Second of all, the issue isn't whether she supports or not Bush's unGodly war, nor is it that she supports or not our grunts over there. The issue in question is the fact that she not only was campaigning against the war but that she was handing out friggin' business cards! AT A FUNERAL! I don't think even ALGORE has that kinda stones to match a possums brain.
Its been said already but I'll say it again...Our president doesn't attend these "Functions" or "Affairs" as you call them, because they are a private time for the family to mourn and honor the legacy of their fallen son or daughter. He has the decency to contact the family quietly and behind the scenes, a lot of the time in person and without the cameras.
Finally, lets honor those who have given their all for our great country by getting the job done and getting home. We all have seen from Gulf War I that an unfinished job comes back to bite us.
Personally, I think Baker-Knoll is senile, and this incident proves it.
Yes, MurryMom is a troll, but she is the resident troll that gets to stay.
I was wondering what popped her cork.
Yah...she usually turns up only during election year campaigns.
Guess she's warming up for Hillary's presidential run.
