Do you do honor to one of the classiest women this nation has ever known by attacking the sitting President of the United States in your remarks at her funeral?

I know you wish it was HIS funeral, but some things are simply beyond trashy, classless, and rude.  Rot in Hell you selfish, pathetic bastards. 

You disrespected not only a strong and well-loved woman, but her husband, and everything he stood for by your remarks today.  He would never have done such a thing, and I bet you wouldn't have dared to do it if he was still alive.

RIP Martin and Coretta.  What you did will always be remembered, long after these jackasses are forgotten.

I heard some of this at work today, and Pam has the links here.

John McCain lays the smackdown on Barack Obama:

Dear Senator Obama:

I would like to apologize to you for assuming that your private assurances to me regarding your desire to cooperate in our efforts to negotiate bipartisan lobbying reform legislation were sincere. When you approached me and insisted that despite your leadership's preference to use the issue to gain a political advantage in the 2006 elections, you were personally committed to achieving a result that would reflect credit on the entire Senate and offer the country a better example of political leadership, I concluded your professed concern for the institution and the public interest was genuine and admirable. Thank you for disabusing me of such notions with your letter to me dated February 2, 2006, which explained your decision to withdraw from our bipartisan discussions. I'm embarrassed to admit that after all these years in politics I failed to interpret your previous assurances as typical rhetorical gloss routinely used in politics to make self-interested partisan posturing appear more noble. Again, sorry for the confusion, but please be assured I won't make the same mistake again."

1 IE my Senator is a two faced lying snake in the grass... Yep, that seems right for our politicians.

2 You know what Senator McCain said to me and Carren after bringing Bob *spit* Schiffer along with him to visit me in Walter Reed? "Well, we all know why we're here... for the Photo-op."--in case you missed it, them are quotation marks. I don't know if it's about balls. If you wanna chew ass for someone pulling out of a deal, do so in private. What is his purpose in posting the letter on his website? Surely, he doesn't expect Obama to read his site for umbrage. You don't suppose it could be to garner publicity (even a little bit) if the media picks up on his scathing little memo? (No bad press, after all.) A bigger--wait, he's short, really short--and I only met him while I was lying down--no, a better man would've chastized him face to face, called him out to the steps for a fight, or, God Forbid, written a ground-breaking piece of legislature and then shunned Obama from having anything to do with it, other than vote for it. That's not to say that Obama didn't withdraw his support for other reasons... like maybe the lobbying reform bill that the pipsqueak was writing was way off base, or destined to fail, or just plain ineffective, and Obama decided that his "private assurances" were sort of like agreeing to whatever the older kid says just because you want them to like you. And, until you get your feet on the ground, it's best not to make enemies. John McCain is a nutjob, and is surely looking for another "Photo-op." And you can take that from a guy with only one ball. --Chuck

From recent bloggy find Aaron of Subject To Change:

"The state of our union could not be stronger. In the year 2001, this nation was brutally attacked by an organization bent on the destruction of our way of life. Yet, just a few short years later the average American is mostly concerned with what's on the TV, especially since it's Oscar season. This demonstrates the strength of the American people. Even the most tragic of events can't stop us from pursuing our dreams.

We have kept ourselves safe by fighting terrorism at its source: Walmart. Walmart's low-low prices are increasing individual's buying power and creating a critical mass of useless crap in every household. Unless this menace is stopped, all of our natural resources will be turned into excessive packaging and landfilled out of existence. So long as we remain focused on fighting the evil empire that is destroying our culture from the inside, we have nothing to fear."
