The post funeral discussion on M$NBComcast is amazing

[malaise]

loved the part where they were talking about Obama's comment about reality TV folks versus Beau.
Was perfect the way Alter threw a subtle dig (or Duggar).
Truthfully, it's nice to have the Bidens and the Obamas versus the Duggars and the Hasterts.

Today was a day of contrasts

3. Obama knew what he was doing when he wrote that line

CNN picked it up as well - it is circus versus substance.

5. I like that, malaise! "Circus versus Substance."

And HOW!

[malaise]

6. Calimary it's for profit circus to boot

Here' s the quote
"Anyone can make a name for themselves in this reality TV age, especially in today's political world. If you are loud enough or powerful enough you can get some attention," Obama, 53, said at the podium, via CNN. "But to make that name mean something, to have it associated with dignity and integrity -- that is rare. There is no shortcut to get it. It's not something you can buy. But if you do right by your children maybe you can pass it on."

18. Tweety just repeated the quote we talked about on Saturday

Here it is again
