Is the chimp too busy to pay respects to Ford?

[kurth]

Must be pretty busy at the ranch, drinking and jacking off to Saddam's hanging video...

1. Both hands are full. n/t

[tridim]

5. But he got one of these for Xmas

So, he still has one hand free to rewind and pause his Saddam hanging DVD.

2. i'm not aware that chimpy respected ford

and apparently it is now being revealed that ford didn't respect chimpy either, so the feeling's mutual

i wouldn't want the chimp at my funeral, would you?

it's the job of the vice president to attend funerals, at least it used to be, i remember * and pickles showing their ugly mug at the reagan thing (where they were also unwanted and disliked) but that was to try to steal some of reagan's "base," methinks :shrug:

3. Jack and Coke, Jack and Coke, Jack and Coke, etc.

NOT a drink order, either!

Fuckface will be front and center on Tuesday. The smell of sulphur wafting through the church as he praises Ford for his service to his country. I wonder if he'll skip the word "honesty" in his eulogy. :evilgrin:

7. Probably, but the word "pardon" will be said ad nauseum. n/t

4. It's not just the chimp

I read an article about the services last night and evidently only a handful of lawmakers from either party were in attendence. No Pelosi or Reid or any other big name dems or repubs.

6. Levin was there ...

Not that that disproves your point.

[cali]

8. Bless him for being there.

I read there were only about 70 people attending the service in the Rotunda. I think the Ford family deserves better.

[etherealtruth]

9. So do I! n/t

[Graybeard]

10. I think the Ford family is glad W didn't show...

...the most revealing moment of the service in the rotunda was
when Cheney started to escort Betty Ford to the coffin and he
was pushed aside by one of her sons. Cheney then wanted to go
to the coffin behind them but was pulled back by another Ford
son! I watched it twice on C-span reruns and it is obvious
they wanted nothing to do with him.

11. For the 500,000th time, LAST NIGHT WAS NOT THE FUNERAL!

There is a religious funeral service being held Tuesday and word is that you know who is supposed to show up for that.

Look, I bear no love for the man but how many threads have been posted now in which people have claimed he is dissing Ford by skipping the funeral...and he is doing no such thing...he's just getting his New Year's drinking and football-watching in first. After all, the man has his priorities.

13. Wow - that is FANTASTIC!

The perfect way to treat these asswipes...

GLAD to hear it!

Any chance of catching it on video someplace?

[opihimoimoi]

12. Most likely EXTREMELY JEALOUS OF FORD AND THE ATTENTION

Bush is a Narcissist, an attention whore, etc....he cannot handle not being the Center.....

He lives in a fantasy world where truth and facts do not matter....he is delusional....he thinks he is the Preacher man...preaching simpleton facts to us like we are school kids....he thinks GOD talks to him...he is a Mathew Brady of "Inherit the wind".

Bush not coming to Fords deal and if he does...briefly....an In and Out thingy.
