OH FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE

[frankly_fedup2]

I'm watching the Reagan coverage on MSNBC, and one of their reporters (Carrie?) just stated that (sic) "The skies were overcast except for a moment when they removed the coffin from the hearse and the ex-president's body was taken into the library."

PUHLEASE.

1. A bit cynical? (n/t)

[PaDUer]

2. They said the sun

peaked out...ya right!!
-edit-
This came from FAUX....why am I NOT surprised!

3. And Flowers Spontaneously Broke into Bloom Across the Countryside

Geez -- sounds like North Korean accounts of Kim il Sun's funeral.

6. Or the Nazi version of Horst Wessel's Funeral

Or the Soviet version on Stalin's funeral.

Glorious Leader. Divine. Could do no wrong. Divine. Look, here's proof of divinity.

(naturally the Commies did all this without religious metaphor, and though the Busheviks might seem otherwise, it is possible to be Totalitarian without a Religious Side)

Hitler, used the Christian Religious Imagery a lot, also, until he got in command and then began talking about creating a Nazi Religion.

But that was at the end.

4. Oh, that was the scrubbed version. Here's what she really said:

"The skies were overcast except for a moment when they removed the coffin from the hearse and it rained fire & brimstone, then the ex-president's body was taken into the library."

5. Part & parcel of the Reagan Mythos

During his inauguration, it was cloudy too, but the sun peeked out about the time of his oath of office. The Worshippers of St. Ron took that as a sign of divinity too.

7. Oh brother!

This is the kind of crap we're going to hear for the next 10 days. :puke:

[ezee]

8. I shut off the TV

I was tired of having to throw up. The man died, so bury him!

[I thought so.]

9. God farted.

Too much cheap beer and chile last night.

[peekaloo]

10. and Venus shall cross the sun............

:P

11. ...and the Choir of Angels began to sing...

I am so sick of this.

First of all I thought he died about 10 years ago, second he wasn't a great president or a great actor.

Let's move on quickly, I CAN'T take a whole week of this.

Cheers,
Kim

12. Thank god. He might have lept from his coffin and bitten

someone's neck otherwise.

Good move there, God.
