Sen. Kerry gave a "Thumbs Up" at President Reagan's service today. This seems to me totally inappropriate. Just who is he giving the Thumbs Up to? Certainly anyone standing in line for 8 hours to pay their respects to the Gipper is not going to vote for Senator Liveshot! Maybe it was to get on the news?

alright after the 2nd photo with the caption from the AP...
I can't hold it in.
John F'n Kerry is a: Self serving, no spine having, horse faced, (explicative deleted) monkey, money marrying, marriage annulling, ketcup loving, (explicative deleted) for brains, tax and spend liberal, mini Ted Kennedy.
Ok I feel better. :)

But seriously....if he had I would be writhing on the floor right now like a madwoman. It would be padded cell time. If that hollow tree-trunk-lookin' botox-injectin' loser had topped off this phony gesture with a salute this thread would have gone to 1000 in an hour.

Read the headline: "Kerry Gives a 'Thumbs Up'
at President Reagan's Service?".
At the
service implies a whole different scene than IN AN SUV LEAVING REAGAN SERVICE.
OK, maybe I'm nitpicking a bit, but it does imply something else, and here on FR we tend to burn at headlines that imply something other than the actual truth. If we're gonna burn them for it, we need to monitor ourselves as well.

Sen. Kerry gave a "Thumbs Up" at President Reagan's service today. This seems to me totally inappropriate. Just who is he giving the Thumbs Up to? Well to us it is inappropriate, but to him and the Democrats it is very appropriate.
IMO the "Thumbs Up" was a signal to the other liberals that he is happy that Reagan has passed on.
But it will become his worst nightmare.
This guy is so out of it, he does not know how to act appropriately in any situation. He is the classic examples of "you can't take him anywhere" and the Democrats want him to be the candidate for President!
Here is another one of his typical "thumbs up" photo ops. It seems to mean "I'm the Man" even though his favorite song is "I'm a Gigolo"

BTW. I left the "Kerry Pays Respects to Reagan in Calif." link in to show his hypocrisy |

Well then, let me ask you this. If you had been, (as was reported by AP) "paying your respects", to a man who was deceased, would you feel inclined to jump in your limo and give a thumbs up? Please help me to understand under what kind of circumstances that emotion might come forth. Because I can't understand it.
To: paul in cape
He gave a thumbs up, just before he gave a thumbs down.

Let's see if you can understand the difference through these examples:
Jim held a gun in a line at the bank vs Jim held a gun in his car
Don spit while standing in line at the church vs Don spit before getting into his car after leaving church
Selma laughed loudly in the emergency room vs Selma laughed loudly while standing across the street from the hospital
Bill received oral sex in the oval office vs Bill received oral sex in privacy of his own bedroom.
Kerry Gave a Thumbs Up at the Service vs Kerry gave a Thumbs Up in an SUV after leaving the service.
OK? There is a difference.

Tame, by Wellstonian standards. Perhaps the Dems are learning?
No sense of propriety.

I'd like to know who he was giving a thumbs up to. I have to think that the other people paying respects to President Reagan are not his supporters.
Presumably Kerry saw a press photographer, and just felt so good about his fake piety and successful photo-op that he just couldn't help himself. Besides, since the photographer works for the media, Kerry knew he was a Democrat.

And now, for a "Kerry Passes Reagan's Casket" haiku:
Kerry makes me sick
He is not a President
He is a fungus

"OK? There is a difference." There is? Really? You didn't answer my question. Under what circumstances do you think it's appropriate to give a thumbs-up after "paying your respects" to a family? I would truly like to understand the emotion that would come to someone who would jump in a iimo and give a thumbs-up? Was it "hey lookit me, all you peons waited for over 8 hours and I just breezed right in"? Was it like that?

"Think about it if clinton died and Bush went to see him ..."
I don't want to even think about that...because if it happened, there would be no winning for Bush.
Personally, if I were Bush, I wouldn't even attend his [clinton's] funeral. But, he probably will. No matter what he does there, however,he will be pounced upon by the press. If the flowers die, it will be Bush's fault.
If clinton has a procession in Washington, the horse probably won't pull the wagon...especially if it's a mare...she won't turn her back to clinton...that's for sure.

Even that was totally inappropriate.
He could have waved unobtrusively to his supporters, the way you just wave your hand once goodbye, or just nodded.

And that, my friend, is why you'll never be a Democratic senator from Mass.
