Elder Bush will not attend Kennedy funeral   Updated at 7:41 PM
   
http://www.kwwl.com/Global/story.asp?S=11007681

BOSTON (AP) - The elder President George Bush will not be attending Sen. Edward Kennedy's funeral.

A spokesman for Bush said Friday that he and his wife, Barbara, decided not to attend Kennedy's funeral after learning their son, former President George W. Bush, would attend.

Jim McGrath says the 85-year-old Bush feels his son's presence would "amply and well represent" the family Saturday.

(end snip)

Makes you wonder, doesn't it?

And if he did attend you guys would be howling about something. Just like I know you guys will tear W to shreds for going. Dammed if you don't dammed if you do.

5. What a load of cr*p
   
You are a former president. Just because Junior is going doesn't mean you can't go. What kind of excuse is that??

Did it ever occur to you morons that Bush is in his 80's maybe traveling to a funeral isn't the easiest thing for him and Barbara.

Bush The Younger lives in Dallas.  Dallas, Texas.  That awful mean staunchly conservative deeply evil republican city.  The city whose population, collectively and in unison, killed Edward Kennedy's brother in 1963.

What could it all mean?

11. Since he was probably involved in/in charge of the assassinations of Teddy's brothers,
   
maybe he feels a little weird about attending.

Oh geez, the Bushes are going to be at the funeral
   
Please, for the love of our dear sweet Jesus, do NOT let either of them speak - especially Jr.

I think they need to stop the tradition of all past living presidents attending the funerals like this.

45. Sometimes the petiness and hate on this board amazes me
   
sounds just like I'm part of an intolerant Republican forum spewing animosity at everything not aligned with them. Can't even stop the partisan rhetoric for a funeral. Truly pathetic in my opinion. Despite some of the beliefs here, Senator Kennedy was respected by members of both sides and did have friends on the other side of the political aisle. Blasphemy!!

I would think it would be difficult for the elder Bushes, at their age, to go through all the pomp and ceremony that will happen at TK's funeral.

Besides Obama's eulogy.....aren't there supposed to be a whole bunch of others that are to speak also? It will take forever....

Former presidents pay homage to other heads of state.  Not to traitorous, philandering, cowardly, cheating chronic drunks who actively undermined the Constitution and the individual rights of American citizens at every turn.  What the **** makes you 'tards at the DUmp think that Fat Bastard rates?

I dunno.

I'm not really fond of this.

I remember the funeral of Tipsy O'Neill, one of the most bloated, corrupt politicians in the history of America, the sour bitter nasty negative one who obstructed all the good that Ronald Reagan was trying to do.

I suppose they thought it was the decent thing to do, all these former Republican presidents, to attend the funeral, but I really wish they hadn't, as it added dignity to the reputation of a gross corrupt decadent old man.

This is beyond tacky.

I don't understand why either Bush would attend. Why is it appropriate for a distinguished Republican former President to attend the
funeral of an alcoholic commusocialist unindicted killer? Especially when we know without question the socialist hordes in Massachusetts will
turn the proceedings into a sickening partisan orgy. The presence of either President Bush 41 or 43 lends legitimacy to the Kenyan and that
despicable Kennedy clan.

Limbaugh was just playing audio from the Wellstone "memorial" on his show.  He reminded me that there were several Republican Senators who showed up to pay their respects to the deceased, and were "jostled", "manhandled", and eventually had to give up and leave.

I expect that the Wellstone Memorial will look like a Kindergarten tea party compared to the rabid anti-Americanism and partisanship that will be on display at Fat Bastard's funeral.

Come on guys. Let's admit it. The elder President Bush is not going because he has better things to.  Check the air in his tires, alphabetize his books and CD's, things like that, I'm sure.  Health surely isn't a problem for a man that has taken a parachute jump on his last couple of birthdays.  He just doesn't want to be around all of the lunatics that will be there.

Staying with a lyrical theme, Bush 41 could do a lot of things more productive
than visiting with the moonbats in Massachusetts:
He could wash his car in the rain
Change his new guitar strings
Check the air in his tires
Straighten out his stereo wires
Count the stars in the sky or just get on with his life
He doesn't need to waste his time crying over Dead Ted
He's got better things to do.

When my father died, his only living older brother decided he couldn't fly across the country to come to his funeral. We missed him at the "after party", but no one complained about it. He's an old man, we understood.
