| #9 Bobby: well done! Forceful, uncompromising, well phrased, persuasive to neutral observers; wholly lacking in nasty words, yet absolutely devastating. |

| #6 Here's my two cents worth - sent to the first women Lt. Governonr in PA. Apparently never a mother. I read that you dropped in on a Marine's funeral and told folks the government was against the war. Your government? The entire Commonwealth of Pennsylvania? Or just you? Assuming that's true, in whatever context, please tell me how that little tidbit of information helped to comfort the bereaved family? Or was it only supposed to make you feel better? My son served in Iraq last fall with the Marines and his Mother and I completely support all the troops, who over the past 229 years have fought and died to give you the freedom to say hurtful things to grieving families. Unfortunately, good taste is still an individual matter. My wife and I do not live in your state, but we had planned to visit this fall. Not much chance of that, now, unless it’s to campaign for your opponent. A loud and well-publicized apology would be a good start. What were you thinking? |

| #3 And how might one contact this charming and insightful Lt. Gov? Anybody save me the trouble? |

| #2 Hopefully the Lt. Govs job in PA meets John Nance Garner's description of the VP as not being worth a bucket of warm spit. If she really said the bit in BigEd's post she not only needs to be impeached she needs to be forced to move to San Francisco. At least there she'd be lost in the backround noise |

| #1 If we only had statements of what the politicians really believed, rather than their public pronouncements. That would be truly enlightening... Having been raised without manners, and believing its OK to be insensitive to anyone who disagrees with me politically, I felt it was my duty to attend this event and insult the family of this military fatality because as we all know our soldiers very bad people. -Pa. Lt. Gov. Catherine Baker Knoll |
