ontos-on...you and the post that CaptainK made has made it very clear that Ron's, all too subtle statement, was indeed directed at GW.However, as Chuzzlewit later said:

I was so moved by the ceremony, I did not even "catch" the jab at GWB, which it clearly was.. And trust me, most of America, who are a heck of a lot less political than those of us who spend time here,didn't catch it either.. And I doubt whether they spend much time watching Chris Matthews.

Nothing to worry about as far as the jab to GWB, folks...

I will repeat a little of what Chuzzie said ...Here we are... some of the most politically astute people in America.... people who were watching the weeks proceedings with rapt attention, in respect, yes...but also with our minds never far away from how this will "play" in November and with our ears perked for any small slam against our heroes.

And here, right here on Free Republic, half of us missed it...myself included!

I had just figured that Ron Jr. had grown as his sister Patti had. When he made his "religion on his sleeve remark", the LAST person I thought of was GW.

So let us not worry about Chris (.03%) Matthews and Howard Fineman. They are totally unknown outside of their cocktail circuits, here, DU and a few little read blogs.

I suggest we treat this as one would a loud fart in Church.
Maybe wrinkle our noses a little but keep absolutely silent.

The children and the simpleminded may giggle, but no one ever listens to them anyway.

Great perspective. I had a dim sense when I heard Ron's eulogy that he was slamming someone, probably including GW, but I agree that he wasn't and could not be more blatant. OTOH, Chris (0.3%) Matthews [LOL] and Fineman are obviously going to try and push that line and it will appear in the media.

They are so hoping (that they are almost splitting) that Nancy Reagan will embark on a stem cell research push which will directly confront GW (and Laura, BTW). I think they are dreaming liberal dreams, but who knows given Ron's relation to his mother.

I still think that's a long shot, but liberals are commenting on this propsect all over the place. They try to make it so just by saying it. [Come to think of it, that might be description that applies to them in a more profound way]
