So Is * Not Attending Ford's Funeral?

[AnnieBW]

Did I hear someone saying that * can't be bothered to come back from the pig farm early to attend President Ford's funeral? Why the heck not? Is it because he's afraid to be in the company of Poppy, Jimmy, and Big Dawg? Maybe he knows that Poppy (or someone else) is gonna bitch-slap him again, like they did at Coretta King's funeral?

1. Heard a while ago that Duyba would 'lead' the mourners...

Don't know what the story is... I also heard the Chimp wouldn't send AF1 to carry his body, but the plane was one of the AF1 aircraft, so who knows...

[olaus]

7. The

aircraft was from the AF1 fleet, the term AF1 Marine1 is only used when the President is on board. President Bush as I under stand it will be back to attend the services.

[spartan61]

32. Why does the media keep saying that the bush administration

allowed the aircraft to fly to CA to bring back President Ford's body and his family to DC? Silly me, I was under the impression that we, the people owned the planes, not bush and his flunkies.

[Fla Dem]

31. 3 planes serve as AF1...all 747's. Only called AF1 when the prez is aboard,

The plane that carried Ford's body and his family to DC was one from that fleet.

[Raine]

2. I heard he'll be there

Tuesday for the final part of it.

[malaise]

3. No but Cheney is uglying up my TV

right now. What a bunch of crooks gathered in one spot. Only W is missing.
There's Killsinger and Dole.

Add

[undeterred]

4. This is the Very Old Boys Club

Junior probably isn't even let in to the dinners unless its to sit at the childrens table. Maybe they'd let him be a pallbearer if he asked nicely.

[Graybeard]

9. Rummy is missing also.

...listed as pall bearer.

[malaise]

10. Thre's Greenspan looking

What a gang.

[ronnykmarshall]

22. Rummy is stuck in a snow job .... I mean snow storm.

[Greeby]

5. Cheney, Henry The K, Rumsfeld, Greenspan, Dole, Baker

All members of the pallbearer team :puke:

[TheCowsCameHome]

14. Maybe Ford will swap places with Cheney.

[babylonsister]

6. Nah, clearing brush in Crawford was far more important.

And I also heard he'll make himself available for the final photo op Tuesday.
He could still be smarting over Ford's remarks to Woodward.

[Rosemary2205]

8. He's not there to greet the body but will be at the state funeral

supposedly he will be there tomorrow at the National Cathedral.

[951-Riverside]

11. Well He and Dick are in Iraq right now

[malaise]

12. Damn Bill Frist

thankfully this is the last time I'll see him. Some Dems are there Schumer, Levin.

[C_U_L8R]

13. Collecting bones for the clubhouse

f*ckin fratboys

[malaise]

15. Poor Betty Ford

Denny is way too close to her.

[Greeby]

16. Faux announced Rummy got snowed in and couldn't make it

:nopity:

[malaise]

25. Didn't like that tape ah well! n/t

[MiniMe]

17. He is missing the State Funeral, he will come back on Monday

Pig

[Greeby]

18. What the hell is going on over there?

Someone collapsed?

[Graybeard]

21. Cheney is hoping it's a democrat senator...

...check whoever collapsed for polonium.

[dancingme]

19. Rummy is snowed in

in Colorado or somewhere. Can't get a plane out.

[Greeby]

20. Ted "Tubes" Stevens speaks nt

[malaise]

23. Notice the spin

about bipartisanship after sixx years of hell promoted by them

Jennings confirms it was Broomfield. He is being treated by about others the catkiller.

[Greeby]

24. Jabba The Hastert is speaking

*smears a pound of grease on the lens*

[Greeby]

26. Just showed a shot down the hall of the Speaker's chair

Don't let Hastert see, he'll start blubbing :evilgrin:

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

27. Perhaps it's because of Ford's posthumously released interview about Iraq.

The one where he proclaims it a colossal blunder.

[Say_What]

34. It's too bad Ford didn't say that publicly while he was alive... this

posthumous crap is kinda chicken shit if you ask me. Like pardoning Nixon--chicken shit. I don't believe for a second that is was in the best interests of the country. Nobody's above the law. Chile did the same thing with Pinochet--for the 'good of the country' and now the SOB is dead. So when it comes to these fascists now in the WH, they'll pardon them too, for the good of the country, and the Dems will go along with it.

:rant:

[Graybeard]

28. Cheney's remarks...what a hypocritical bastard.

...evil,evil,evil.

[madeline_con]

29. He's been partying, watching Saddam hanging videos,

snorting and drinking.

He'll be up to D.C. on Tuesday after they sober him up.

[bagimin]

30. The "Decider" is busy decidin'

don't ya know.

[Salviati]

33. I guess he's too busy workin' till the wee hours of the early evening...

out at his brush farm...
