This funeral is just too bizarre!

[proud2BlibKansan]

Chelsea sitting next to Condi. Chelsea is conversing with her mom while Condi looks like a fucking stautue. Chelsea completely ignoring stone faced kindasleezy.

And that hair! Don't they pay that woman enough for a decent hairdresser?

Poppa's tie is crooked and Tweety comments on "how great" he looks!

Then Tweety says that Rosalyn Carter "never got over" losing the presidency. And the camera pans over to Rosalyn chatting with Nancy Reagan. Tweety talks about their campaign in 1989! Don't you mean 1980? And what's with the sunglasses on Nancy? She's the one who looks like she is dealing with some inner issues! Sheesh, Tweety, are you actually WATCHING or just spouting off?

But the icing on the cake is the smirk on dubya's face as he is walking Betty Ford up the aisle. I have seen men look like that as they escort the bride at a wedding.

Washington at its finest I guess. :rofl:

[Mad_Dem_X]

1. Damn, I'm missing it!

I wish I could be at home watching this spectacle.

[proud2BlibKansan]

3. I just turned it off

It really isn't funny and I was having such a hard time not laughing.

[malaise]

2. I'm loving the snub n/t

[chimpymustgo]

6. It's all totally sordid. These death orgies are freaky.

Then they viilfy the Dems for having loving, heartfelt funerals.

[lancdem]

4. lol

I assume you're talking about Condi's hair. I'm at work with no access to a TV. Wish I were watching, though. Keep us cube rats posted, please!

:hi:

[proud2BlibKansan]

19. Ok just for you I turned it back on

only to see Henry FUCKING Kissinger giving the eulogy. You owe me. :)

Kissinger is waxing poetically while he ignores reality. Please don't tell me you need details.

[proud2BlibKansan]

29. The smirker in chief is up there now

Oh Jesus, he's in your house. Please RAPTURE him.

[truth2power]

5. I was watching Dubya escort Betty....

He smirked and nodded to people, like it was all about him. What an effing tool! Can't even be dignified at a funeral.

[malaise]

7. Dignified Bush -nah

that's an oxymoron.
Fugg 41s going back to the Warren Commission.
Add.

[Drum]

16. same shite, different day:

Here's the gang while Pope JPII was on view. Bushes again acting like it's either a)no big deal; or b)all about them.

Sheesh!

[proud2BlibKansan]

21. Yes that was so repulsive

and where was Tweety and his snarky comments then?

[bdamomma]

27. I am not able to watch, but frat boy, thinks this is all about him

damn his arrogance and ignorance.

[xultar]

8. The reason Condi's hair is fucked up...I bet she doesn't go to a black hair stylist

I'm gonna say it but you won't believe it...

Black women need to go to BLACK HAIR STYLIST...or any stylist that has studied or done an apprentice under a black stylist.

PERIOD.

[displacedtexan]

20. Condi gets her do at the Watergate salon.

The woman who does my hair there also does Elaine Chao's.

Big whoop.

They're all Russian hairdressers there... or at least most of them
are.

They're all so proud of doing Condi's do.

Yuck.

[proud2BlibKansan]

23. They have absolutely NO reason to be proud of that crap

But it does go well with stripes!

[xultar]

31. They don't know...they think they are doing her justice. Condi needs some grease

in her hair when she leaves that place. A wash and set every week...under the dryer...NOT A BLOW OUT.

[proud2BlibKansan]

35. I'd like to see her in dreads

:)

[xultar]

42. Locs would be nice on her...but I don't think her hair would stay locked...until

she gives up on the Republican fantasy crack. Locs only work on the true and un corrupt...kow what I'm sayin.

[kestrel91316]

54. I think she would look nice with cornrows, personally. But somehow I

just CAN'T envision her doing it. Too ethnic for Sec of State in her mind, I suspect.

[xultar]

57. Well little does she know her entire ass is ETHNIC. Have fun hidin sistah.

[xultar]

30. I stayed @ the Omni in the Watergate for close to 2 years when I was

on assignment there. Nothing good for her hair is within 5 miles of the Watergate...including stylist.

Hey is that wine store and Chinese place still downstairs? Many Monday's I went down there to pick up my dry cleaning, get a bottle of wine for the week and to pick up a good Chinese dinner.

[displacedtexan]

52. The Chinese place by the fountain?

Yep.

The Watergate Salon is fine if you just want a basic bob.

They condition at least twice and cut very, very carefully.

[proud2BlibKansan]

22. My black friends say the same thing

LOL One of them just called me to ask if I was watching this and saw kindasleezy's hair today. She said if she ever wins Powerball, she is buying that woman a decent hairdresser. She knew it would upset me because she would be giving money to a republican but she said it is more important for black women to be on TV with decent hairstyles. I told her as long as she bought me a day in a Caribbean spa, I could live with it.

[xultar]

25. A sistah has got to deal with her do. Simple. Rethuglican or not. It makes us all

look bad.

[mondo joe]

64. Best comment of the new year.

:-)

[peekaloo]

9. Holy shit. Poopy defending the Warren Commission.

but he doesn't recall his whereabouts that day.

fookin' cadaver!

[malaise]

11. That did shock me

Guilt has a way...

[dogday]

37. He sure wanted to get that little "fact" in

Ford signed the Warren Commission Report... That in itself makes him suspect in my book.....

[durrrty libby]

10. This is fascinating stuff. I can't stop watching, but I keep switching

channels because as much as I love Olbermann, Matthews
is too much for me to bear today.

It's all about him. He is just annoying the hell out of me today.

[malaise]

13. There's no commentary on MSNBC

41 drinks water in the middle of this short 'tribute'

[durrrty libby]

17. I enjoyed his tribute. It was sweet, heartfelt and funny.

Now we are being tortured by Kissinger.

Ack...he is so awful

[kestrel91316]

55. That's just plain rude and undignified.

[lancdem]

14. That's what's so wonderful about C-SPAN

[BoneDaddy]

12. I thought the James Brown services

were even more bizarre. All these people singing to a corpse. Freaky.

[proud2BlibKansan]

24. But that service sure held my attention

And of the 2, I can tell you I would much rather have attended James Brown's service.

[bdamomma]

33. they were celebrating James Brown life, I would rather watch

Brown's funeral right now than Ford's. MSM is just dragging this on and on, just like Reagan.

[malaise]

45. Brown had a grand send off

big difference. It was great.

[peekaloo]

15. Let the parade of war crims/profiteers begin!

Kissinger, Jebus!

[Philosoraptor]

18. Oh it's going to get bizzarer and bizzarer.

[proud2BlibKansan]

26. My parents taught me to be polite and respectful

but that is so hard today.

[malaise]

34. W is talking about proud to be in uniform

this Vietnam dodger in a government of draft dodgers. These men have some nerve.

Edit spelling.

[proud2BlibKansan]

38. He just said hosting Ford's 90th birthday was a highlight of his

presidency! And his brother last week said he will miss the fresh towels in the governor's mansion.

Gawd, this family just makes me want to puke. What miniscule brainless twits they are!!

[malaise]

39. Bush always makes me laugh

I just can't help myself. He is such a moron.

[proud2BlibKansan]

41. I wish I could laugh

but I am so completely over this moran and his fucked up evil family. So laugh extra for me, okay?

[malaise]

44. If you can't laugh read this

[peekaloo]

43. Wasn't the pope's funeral another highlight?

and 2001 was a fabulous year for he and Laura.

[malaise]

47. Wow a voice with soul at last

She sang at James Brown's funeral as well.

[malaise]

48. That was absolutely beautiful

and I have no gods.
add

[peekaloo]

28. Book report time!

thank you Jon Stewart.

[peacetalksforall]

32. Olberman - Tweety. What a contrast - during the long

procession and wait -

Olberman - proper, appropriate, articulate
Tweety - trite, shallow, gossipy, mean-spirited, narcissitic.

An extra comment of Tweety stands out -

Says Gore having a comeback because of his global warming work.

Not a lie, but it's not the full reason.

Tweety is right wing GE all the way.

[bamademo]

36. A shot of Babs almost scared me to death.

It took years of my life, I tell you.

[proud2BlibKansan]

40. Tell her to straighten her hubby's tie

Don't they use mirrors when they get dressed?

[onecent]

46. Vampires don't use mirrors.

[novalib]

49. TURN OFF YOUR TV!!! OR SWITCH TO COMEDY CENTRAL!!!!

It's NOTHING but a BUNCH OF NAZIS saying nice things about one of AMERICA'S GREATEST SLIMEBALLS!!!

Even the WEATHER CHANNEL would be better to watch that all those NAZIS!

[novalib]

[BuelahWitch]

53. Somebody needs to take their meds!

:eyes:

[novalib]

56. NO SHIT!!!!

NO SHIT someone needs to take their meds:

1. ANYONE actually ATTENDING the travesty at the National Cathedral (by the way, just how "NATIONAL" is the "NATIONAL Cathedral" -- isn't there supposed to be a separation of CHURCH AND STATE????)

2. ANYONE who is WATCHING OR LISTENING to the TRAVESTY of NAZIS saying nice things about a REAL SLIMEBALL LIKE FORD!!!!

[durrrty libby]

59. I am proud to be a dem all my life, but reading posts like yours

is just plain old embarassing

Seek help now before it is too late.

:hangover: :dunce: :freak: :hurts:

[Odin2005]

66. She really needs some lithium or something...

[Odin2005]

58. Geez, somebody forget to take her meds this morming?

Ford was a slimeball? RIIIIIIIIGHT... :eyes:

He was the last decent Republican president and some DUs seem to have to reflexively pis son his grave. :banghead:

Then again, I don't beleive all the stupid conspiracy theories about Poppy and Ford...

[greenbriar]

61. finally a voice of reason

thank you

[novalib]

62. The LAST DECENT REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT???!! WTF??!!

You have GOT to be JOKING!!!

Ford PARDONNED NIXON!!!

Ford was many things -- but he was NOT DECENT!!!

Nixon was as BAD or WORSE then *. Like *, Nixon BOMBED INNOCENT PEOPLE. Like *, Nixon LIED to the American People!!!!

Would call someone who pardonned * "DECENT"????!!!!

Ford PARDONNED NIXON!!

FORD FUCKING PARDONNED FUCKING NIXON!!!!

Ford was NOT DECENT AT ALL -- STOP believing the LIES you are being told NOW by the CORPORATE MEDIA!!!!!

Ford was a FUCKING SLIMEBALL!!!

And THAT is the TRUTH!!!!!!

[Odin2005]

65. The truth is that you apparently don't know how to calm down.

Nixon was small fry compaed to Bush. Nixon wasn't the spawn of Satan, he was a paranoiac that let his paranoia lead him to do illegal acts. You are assuming Ford has nefarious reasons for pardoning Nixon, a position I consider BS.

[Odin2005]

60. I thought Brokaw's remarks about the chicken head were funny.

[gauguin57]

63. For a while, Jimmy Carter was sitting next to Lynn Cheney ... and they weren't chatting at all.

They seemed to be purposely looking in opposite directions, or Jimmy would look down at his program and read.

It may be a funeral, and bury-the-hatchet-bygones-be-bygones day, but I wouldn't talk to friggin' Lynn Cheney either!

[Sugarcoated]

67. I wouldn't be surprised if the Ford's intentionally

wanted to mix the crowd that way.

[Raine]

68. Poppy was so bizarre

first words were about the Warren Commission, I thought HOLY SHIT! :wow: then later he imitates Dana Carvy!!! :wtf: I actually wonder if Poppy was drunk! :beer: :hangover:
