At Mickey Mantle's funeral people talked of baseball

[BOSSHOG]

And there was no outrage from the right. That's outrageous. Those with a knowledge of Mickey's life chatted about his accomplishments and the sport he cared about and not one peep from the guardians of the moral statuettes - that's outrageous. How could god fearing moral arbiters of what should and should not be said at funerals and who should sleep with whom not rage with indignation that baseball was discussed at a baseball players funeral?

1. What about Bush's eulogy at Reagan's funeral

This should get them to STBU! (Shut The Bush Up Part of a new campaign to replace the word "fuck" with Bush... BUBAR, SNABU, WTB, etc.)

5. That whole fucking week long orgy of RW hypocracy that was

saint Ronnie's funeral. What a puke fest, yet no one howled about it.
And last night I saw Michael Reagan talking about how a funeral shouldn't be politicized. Jesus no wonder his old man hated him.

2. That's exactly the example Jerry Springer talked about this morning.

It's just the rightwingers looking for something to be fake outraged about.

3. Did they talk about religion at the POPE'S funeral?

Well, did they?

4. Where's the outrage??

And his funeral was so religious. How fucking disgusting is it to live one's life as a "conservative?" Please would a lurker share your need to control my sex life and my mind and my TV viewing habits and when and how I will die and what will be said at my funeral. Please help me understand what you breath for.
