Funerals: Just another campaign stop for Dems


No, I'm not a traitor. But I would be doing the exact same thing if I were. Posted by Picasa

Clueless PA Lt. Gov. Catherine Baker Knoll sent a public, written apology to the widow of slain Marine Staff Sgt. Joseph Goodrich, 32, of Pittsburgh after showing up uninvited at the Marine’s funeral. Well, as if crashing the funeral wasn’t enough, the dopey Dem took the opportunity of canvassing the funeral crowd to pass out business cards and make a remark about the “government” being against the war. What the hell is she talking about? The government is the one waging the war. Does Ms. Brain-Dead think Marines work for Wal-Mart? In a further tasteless move, Knoll then asked the widow if she had decided what she was going to do with the deceased Staff Sergeant’s golf clubs.

Someone must have clued the clueless one in. On Monday numbskull Knoll sent an apology to Goodrich’s wife. In the damage control letter Knoll wrote, "Sgt. Goodrich's service was beyond the call of duty. If my regard for his family's grief was seen another way, it is thoroughly regrettable. The fact that you have been offended deserves and receives my most profound apology." Notice the letter is in the vein of the RC Durbin non-apology apology. It doesn’t say, “I was a callous dolt who should be horse whipped for trying to make political hay over the loss of your husband.” It says, “Screw you for figuring out what I was trying to do and exposing my tasteless ploy.”

Libs and Dems: They aren’t traitors but they wouldn’t be doing anything different if they were.
