These were some replies on a blog in regards to the fact that Speaker Boehner chose not to ride on AFONE and attend the political rally, sorry, memorial service in Arizona. Damned if you DO and damned if you DON'T.
"It was a political rally with mention of the victims. Not very classy or respectful."
"I am sure that the Giffords family was more appreciative of the presence of her good friends, Pelosi, Gillibrand, and Wasserman Schultz."
"Thank you, Speaker Boehner for not attending the farcial memorial turned rally."
"Boehner did well to forego appearing at the typical Democrat hootenanny/memorial service. These people do not do “propriety.”
"Thank God for John Boehner, who is looking out for the decency of the office he holds. Presidential “perks” did not dissuade him from his own priorities. How rare is that?"
"A memorial with applause lines and extended applause in Obama’s speech? I’m glad Boehner had the decency not to go."
"Why? From what I saw it was a Pep Rally at a PAAARTA School. Has to be one of the most disturbing displays of inappropriate behaviour I have EVER seen."
"Why should Republican Boehner attend a Democrat political rally? It makes NO sense."
