The State Of In State
Is a bear Polish? Who could have seen this coming? President Obama will visit the remains of Antonin Scalia as he lies in state, but will not attend his funeral. And Foxolimbeckians are outraged. Outraged.
Their outrage is only exceeded by that which would have rained down had the president decided to attend. In which case, how dare he make it about him!!??
That his decision is entirely in line with history makes, of course, not a Ronald Reagan commemorative silver dollar's worth of difference. Nor will the fact that the Scalia family understands and agrees with the decision.
God, how I hate these people. And shame on me for it. I guess.
