airdvr 197 #1 September 2, 2008 ...for 10 days so they can grandstand at her funeral. I guess the convention was more important. http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalradar/2008/08/sen-obama-the-c.html At times the memorial service became borderline political – with many of the speakers in the lineup singling out Obama. "Elect Sens. Obama and Biden; we must rise up," Congresswoman Carolyn Kilpatrick said in the middle of her remarks. "Take it to the bank these people want change," Commissioner Jimmy Dimora said from the podium to Obama: "And you're the person for that" At one point some people in the crowd yelled "Obama" as if in a political rally, prompting "shhh's" from the other mourners.Please don't dent the planet.

quade 3 #2 September 2, 2008 Yes, I'm sure it was the political party that decided what day she'd be buried and not her family. Get real.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billvon 2,400 #4 September 2, 2008 >Dems keep dead woman on slab for 10 days so they can grandstand at her funeral. That is SO unfair. They should have kept her on an inflatable raft in a pool, like in Weekend at Bernie's. Get some sunglasses for her and stick a fruity drink in her hand. It's what she would have wanted. (As long as she didn't get wet and soggy - that would be gross.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quade 3 #5 September 2, 2008 QuoteOK...it was her family that decided. Why would they do that? You should ask them. Some religions call for burial by sunset the next day and some people grieve over bodies above ground quite awhile. Some politicians are never buried.

If her family wanted to use her funeral to make one last statement in favor of her political party, who are you or I to judge them? Blues, Dave"I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

Blues, Dave agreed, she's just a meat sack at that point - owned by their family - even if the family consists of twisted, unhealthy partisan nutjobs. it takes all kinds, even sickos like that ...

Andy9o8 0 #9 September 2, 2008 It occurs to me they could have cooked her and donated the meat to a soup kitchen. Hey, I'm just brainstorming. Edit: I knew it wouldn't be hard to find some tasty recipes.

warpedskydiver 0 #12 September 3, 2008 If they cut her up into little chunks and put toothpicks into them, Obama could have gotten a free meal. Biden would have chowed down on that dead old lady, he has been living off Americans for a loooooong time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lawrocket 3 #14 September 3, 2008 I guess that they were quite "rigorous" in their campaigning. I wonder if "Algor" was there, complaining about temperature change. (Thank you airdvr. I've been waiting YEARS for the chance to bring up Al Gore and temperature change with this pun.) My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
