Another Downie Cracks Up, Crashes Hero's Funeral to Exhibit Psychopathic Behavior
If you have never heard of Catherine Baker Knoll, you soon will: She is the (read: liberal) Lt. Governor of Pennsylvania, under the nominally moderate Governor Ed Rendell. But Ms. Knoll - whom the Downies are probably grooming for national office as we speak - has a slight problem: she is a fucking loon. And why, you ask? Because she went to the funeral of a soldier killed in Iraq, and there denounced the war and said that the government is against the war:
Lt. gov. crashed Marine's funeral, kin say
The people of Pennsylvania need to call, write, and bellow to the state capital in Harrisburg with the following message: Ms. Knoll needs to be removed from office. She is deranged. No one like that should be one heartbeat away from controlling one of our largest states.
If she were a Republican, the liberals would be marching. It is only fair play that Republicans do the same.

Lt. gov. crashed Marine's funeral, kin say
The family of a Marine who was killed in Iraq is furious with Lt. Gov. Catherine Baker Knoll for showing up uninvited at his funeral this week, handing out her business card and then saying "our government" is against the war.
Rhonda Goodrich of Indiana, Pa., said yesterday that a funeral was held Tuesday at a church in Carnegie for her brother-in-law, Staff Sgt. Joseph Goodrich, 32.
She said he "died bravely and courageously in Iraq on July 10, serving his country."
In a phone interview, Goodrich said the funeral service was packed with people "who wanted to tell his family how Joe had impacted their lives."
Then, suddenly, "one uninvited guest made an appearance, Catherine Baker Knoll."
She sat down next to a Goodrich family member and, during the distribution of communion, said, "Who are you?" Then she handed the family member one of her business cards, which Goodrich said she still has.
"Knoll felt this was an appropriate time to campaign and impose her will on us," Goodrich said. "I am amazed and disgusted Knoll finds a Marine funeral a prime place to campaign."
Goodrich said she is positive that Knoll was not invited to the funeral, which was jammed with Marines in dress uniform and police officers, because the fallen Marine had been a policeman in McKeesport and Indiana County.
"Our family deserves an apology," Rhonda Goodrich said. "Here you have a soldier who was killed -- dying for his country -- in a church full of grieving family members and she shows up uninvited. It made a mockery of Joey's death."
What really upset the family, Goodrich said, is that Knoll said, 'I want you to know our government is against this war,' " Goodrich said.
The people of Pennsylvania need to call, write, and bellow to the state capital in Harrisburg with the following message: Ms. Knoll needs to be removed from office. She is deranged. No one like that should be one heartbeat away from controlling one of our largest states.
