CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY OCTOBER 21, 2024
FUNERALS CAN BE A TIME OF JOY AND CELEBRATION FOR THE DEPARTED IF HE OR SHE WAS A BELIEVER, OR A SAD FAREWELL IF ONE WAS NOT.
THE FUNERAL OF ETHEL KENNEDY LAST WEEK WAS FULL OF JOKES BY FORMER PRESIDENTS AND THE CURRENT ONE, BUT NOTHING I SAW OR HEARD MENTIONED HER ETERNAL DESTINY, WHICH IS SAD.
DURING THE SERVICE, FORMER PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA AND JOE BIDEN WERE SHOWN HAVING A CONVERSATION. A LIP READER TOLD THE DAILY MAIL THAT BIDEN SAID TO OBAMA, KAMALA HARRIS ISN’T AS STRONG AS HE – THAT IS BIDEN IS — AND OBAMA IS SAID TO HAVE AGREED.
BILL CLINTON GOT SOME LAUGHS WHEN HE SAID ETHEL KENNEDY FLIRTED WITH HIM. THE MEANING OF THE LAUGHS WAS WHAT YOU MIGHT EXPECT, GIVEN CLINTON’S RECORD OF INFIDELITIES.
DEMOCRATS ARE CLEARLY WORRIED ABOUT HARRIS’S UNDERPERFORMANCE AND HER REPETITION OF THE SAME OLD PHRASES SHE HAS CLEARLY MEMORIZED. WITH A LITTLE MORE THAN TWO WEEKS TO GO BEFORE NOVEMBER 5TH AND WITH EARLY VOTING APPARENTLY FAVORING REPUBLICANS SO FAR, THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO BE.
ETHEL KENNEDY PUT UP WITH A LOT OF HER HUSBAND’S INFIDELITIES. SHE RAISED NINE CHILDREN. BUT THE BIG QUESTION IS – AS IT WILL BE FOR ALL OF US — WHERE IS SHE NOW? I’M CAL THOMAS.
