Again, just what do you think these Congress critters do on these junkets? And since when does Harry Reid make foreign policy for the United States government.
Go ahead and try to play nice with Chavez and Morales. That sounds like a winning strategy for '08...FOR REPUBLICANS.

There are several traditions that are in play here.
The fact that a former CIC has died is of paramount importance to the military - any military in the world I might add - in that there are very traditional honors that the former Chief is entitled.
Then there is the tradition of the passing of a President. Every President since William Howard Taft has been offered the opportunity to lie in state in the rotunda of the Capitol. Nixon, among others, refused. But the honor is offered. And when that ceremony takes place, it is traditional that speakers from the other branches of government - including the Supreme Court, the Congress (both Majority and Minority Leaders of both parties and both chambers) as well as the current President say a few words eulogizing the dead president.
The Constitution is silent on the matter of course. But I am very happy to see that you and other liberals have now become such strict constructionists of that document.

I really at am a loss as to why I have to defend according a former President of the United States all of the honors to which he is entitled.
This has nothing to do with a "working Congress" - whatever the hell that means. It has everything to do with tradition and reverence for the highest office in the land - something missing in your disjointed and incoherent comment as well as Reid's sensibility regarding his position as a leader of the Congress - one of the co-equal branches of government.
Mystifying indeed...

Thank you for perfectly illustrating all the points I made above about the left.
If you were here, I'd kiss you...

What kind of a numbskull accuses me of partisanship when pointing out the monumental insult done to the United States government, the presidency, the Ford family, and to tradition itself by Harry Reid not performing the task carried out by every other Majority Leader in history and eulogize a dead president?
It takes a special kind of stupidity to be that dense.

THE DARK SIDE OF "TRADITIONAL VALUES"
OOOPS!
No insulting the host. That gets your comment deleted and you, once again, banned.
Criticize without being insulting thank you. I'm the only one who can insult someone on this site.

Hey Peter! Nice to have another dolt to take potshots at.
The article has very little to do with Ellison, proving once again that you can't read. May I suggest your local Junior College for a remedial reading course? Or maybe you should watch Sesame Street for a couple of months just to bring you up to speed on the alphabet.
And Schlussel never mentioned Ellison in her article - it was about Obama.
Refresh my memory...Did I ban you for being totally ignorant or just a pain in the ass?

Um...do you mean the idiot congressman who wants to ban Muslims from sitting in Congress? Or only ban them from coming into the country legally?

OBAMA FAILS RELIGIOUS TEST: SCHLUSSEL
You never address the content of my response - you simply change the subject.
You never defend yourself from my specific criticisms - you fall back on tired, worn liberal talking points.
It is pointless trying to debate someone who refuses to engage.
