Dumb politician
I don't think this needs a lot of explaining. Found on Neal Boortz.
There is a time and a place for everything, and this fact is often lost on those politicians on the extreme left. To them, everything is a cause, and politics rules the day. Today brings news of such an example.Thirty-two-year-old Marine Staff Sgt. Joseph Goodrich died in Iraq two weeks ago during a mortar attack. At his funeral last Tuesday in Pittsburgh, there were quite a few people packed into the church to pay their respects.
Enter Lt. Gov. Catherine Baker Knoll. The good lieutenant governor decided it would be a good time and place to do a little campaigning. She went into the church and during the distribution of communion, took a seat and started asking around to find the family. She also passed around a business card, telling a family member "'I want you to know our government is against this war." Not sure what that means....presumably she meant the government of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Whatever.
Some people see a funeral, this woman saw a campaign opportunity. As you might expect, people are outraged. Governor Ed Rendell is going to apologize to the Marine's family and says he is disturbed by what took place. Rumors have already begun swirling that he might drop her from the '06 ticket.
Now would be a good time.
Some people just have no ethics. Assuming that the family was against the war because of the death, she went in for the kill. Too bad she misread and didn't see a bunch of people who understood the reason for the war and while saddened by the loss, these people were still committed to see it through.
Shame on you Lt. Governor Knoll.
