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

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.

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

I bet he's just a garden jungle of STDs.

I’ve heard rumblings that Ducey will come through with a non-McCain replacement.

But all this show with Meghan so prominently featured has me worried.

I hope to have my worries put to rest this week.

Ducey has to know that the majority outside of the Beltway were appalled by this whole rally.

Jesse, Al and Bill. LOL

Bill’s sure got a smile on his face.

And of course she’s so appropriately-dressed.

Just for grins, I sent that pic to Drudge and suggested it for Monday morning. Yes, why not use all resources.

I guarantee you that pic will go like wildfire. Viral, as the uber-liberals at Yahoo like to call it.

Maybe if Grande had worn a bra, her boob wouldn’t be halfway under her armpit.
