They floated the rumor she was a lesbian, they claimed she was responsible for bugging Rove's office. Yeah he learned a lot. He learned how to use a smear campaign to take down a gracious honorable person.

Fuck you George. At least you aren't showing up down here for her service, you contemptible son of a bitch.

1. I muted it during that part
I never want to hear him say her name.

2. George Doesn't Do Funerals
When's the last time you saw Georgie at a funeral, other than Reagan's, which for protocol reasons he could not avoid?

Ann Richards embarassed his Daddy. ("Born with a silver foot in his mouth."

Georgie has to mention Ann as an oblique method of scorning her. 'She's dead, I'm not. I win.'

5. Didn't he go to Rosa Park's?
And wasn't he obviously uncomfortable being there? Many of her tributes included references to his failed administration.

7. If So, That Would be Two
And it's pretty obvious he hasn't attended any for the 2,600 or so dead American soldiers, who fell in Iraq.

A shameful omission for which I will NEVER forgive him, man to man. NEVER.

8. No he stayed away from Rosa's, as did every other Republican
Whereas just about every Democrat spoke, including Bill CLinton, who was introduced simply as "The President of the United States"

You're thinking of Coretta Scott-King's funeral, where Jimmy Carter and Rev. Joseph Lowery in particular made him look like the horse's ass he is

11. No, but he did go to Coretta King's funeral
and got an earful that he was forced to listen to. He's probably afraid the same thing would happen at Gov. Richard's service.

6. Speaking of which, anyone know when the service will be?
I was wondering if C-span will cover it as they did with Lloyd Bentsen's funeral

9. Services will be private, but a public service will be held Monday.
Public services will be held at noon Monday at the University of Texas Frank Erwin special events center.

10. I know.....he shouldn't even utter her name...
What he did to her was disgraceful...but then everything he does is disgraceful. All he knows is Frat Boy Humor and the words: "Kill/Terror." It's like he can't go beyond. But then he was frozen in time in his bottle years ago. :-(
