And the Paul Wellstone Memorial Award Goes To...
PJ Media ^ | 1 Sep 2018 | Matt Margolis

Posted on 09/02/2018 9:08:28 AM PDT by Rummyfan

I don’t mean to sound self-centered, but I hope that at my funeral, whoever delivers the eulogy will talk about me, and not their or my political enemies. It’s not much to ask, but frankly, I’d like to believe there’s more to me than the people I’ve had feuds with.

Not since the Paul Wellstone funeral have I been so disgusted at the gross politicization of a memorial service. Wellstone, you might remember, was the U.S. senator who died in a plane crash in 2002 less than two weeks before the midterm elections. In an effort to save the seat, Walter Mondale was selected to run, and the funeral services for Wellstone turned into a grossly inappropriate campaign rally.

The past couple of days have brought the memory of that shameful memorial service back to the front of my mind.

I never expected this to happen at the funeral services for John McCain. When he barred President Trump from attending his funeral it may have been petty, but understandable. But, it seems now that the move merely gave those delivering eulogies the opening to bluntly attack President Trump.

The saddest part was that John McCain’s daughter Meghan used a moment in her eulogy to bluntly attack Trump.

Grande looks like she wants to get as far away as possible from that preacher, as quickly as possible. The guy has the nerve to cop a feel while being broadcast, on the stage at a memorial event.

The two “JustUs” brothers have some serious angry scowls on their faces.

If my father had been told not to attend the funeral, I wouldn’t have gone at all. McCain’s funeral turned into a political farce.

That slimey coward Saint Jeffy Flake just tweeted “Decency wins.”

This from a snivelling worm who went out every day in front of cameras to slam and slander President Trump, always in petty, nasty personal ways.

Guess what, Jeffy: McCain is DEAD and you are politically DEAD. Just like McCain, you are a bitter jealous bully! Shut up about “decency”, you clearly have no idea what the word “decency” means!

Gotta admit - the press knows how to ‘protect their own’ while lying to the American People... they should win the award.

Good one....Pulitzer needs to weigh in.

If you want to see disgusting, watch “Our Cartoon President” on Showtime. It’s produced by Late Night Host Colbert.

It’s free Preview Weekend and I decided to check it out last night.

It’s basically a 30 Minute Animated Liberal Wet Dream. Every thing they imagine about the POTUS and his Staff is brought into it. The most hateful, misinformed and vile stuff you can imagine.

No creativity and satire like South Park, just hate, hate and more hate.

I saw a snip of that on some TV in a public area. I was amazed and disgusted.

Even more disgusted when I realized this is where some voters get their information and make their decisions.

Farrakan is a hater as is Sharpton. JJ looks like something stinks. And Clinton looks old and feeble - and I think he is actually younger than President trump.

“The McCain Funeral”...or, why I want to be cremated and my ashes scattered in the truck garden by Manuel, my completely legal gardener.

“Manuel...spread my ashes at your convenience, but do it when no one is around. In payment, please keep anything in the shed with a Toro or Craftsman label on it. Heck, just keep it all.”

Slick Willie is two months younger than Pres. Trump. And yes, the Slickster looks awful. Karma’s a b!tch.

What an attention whore!

How terribly dis-R.E.S.P.E.C.T.ful attire for a funeral.

Mesh peek-a-boo BOOB detail.

Horse’s tail on her head.

Skirt so short her ASS-ets are barely covered.

What a Shameful-Tart.

That reminds me -- I need to ensure I have a pole dancer at my funeral.

John McCain died August 25. Buried September 2. 8 days. Aretha Franklin died August 16. Buried September 1. 16 days. The usual time span seems to be about 3 days. Wellstone Memorials indeed.

Me - burial at sea, surrounded by real Americans. My family can honor me while I’m still alive.

“This kind of stuff doesn’t make Trump look bad, it makes his enemies look petty and weak.”

That’s because they (dems, libs, and progressives, and socialists to include the MSM) ARE PETTY AND WEAK.
