Very nice and classy gesture.

1. Very nice and classy. Thanks for posting.

What has Smirky done during Black History Month?

[Pirate Smile]

2. That is wonderful. It needs to be posted in one of the other forums.

Will you post it over there TayTay or do you want someone else to?

[TayTay]

3. Could you?

I'm in full Senate Wonk mode today.

[Pirate Smile]

4. Sure.

[blm]

5. The news programs only cut to Bush at the ceremony when it was Kerry

who pushed this award through working with Rachel Robinson for years.

6. Now Smirky is going to take credit for Kerry's ideas

:grr: :mad:

7. Yeah, but who got the kiss

Rachel Robinson and the people who worked hard for three years for this day know who did this and who came in at the last moment. That's why John Kerry got the smooch on the cheek and * didn't.

One funny note, I saw a little bit of Hardball tonight and WSJ loon John Fund was trying to make it seem like Jackie Robinson was a hardcore Rethug. (He is off his meds for sure now.) Tweety (really, tweety?) corrected him and said Robinson left the Rethugs when Nixon wouldn't commit to laying off MLK. Rethugs are bastards. They don't have any great historical leaders they can point to, they have to stoop to repackaging *our* great enduring figures of leadership, freedom and equality. Sad, but true!

8. Yes, I saw that kiss.

Right at the Mic. Sweet. Smirky has BO so I am glad Rachel didn't kiss him. :loveya:

9. Gee, Tweety did something

besides sit there and drool? Unbelievable!

10. But think how much it must kill him to pretend

to honor an African American man. He's much more comfortable signing a death warrant.
