And who is it that decides when someone is going to be identified by three names?

No national Republicans attended Tuesday's funeral, including none of the GOP presidential candidates. All said they were too busy.
That is quite a statement. The presidential candidates really want/need the evangelical vote. Jerry had drifted far too close to the lunatic fringe. NONE of them can show up to honor the man who brought these voters right to their doorstep?

Maybe to spare the hundreds of other Mark Uhl's that do not want to be associated with some wacko...

To paraphrase H.S. Thompson, Falwell should have been tossed in a dumpster and burned.

Not his fault Minty. He should have known better than to die during an election cycle, an off year demise would have produced at least some well-known cash hungry politicos at graveside.

And to summarize Thompson's life, he was a bitter, unhappy jerk, and he shot himself in the head as his last selfish act. kj.

Mr. Thompson went out on his terms, as it should be with each individual.
Bitter?
Nope.
Cynical is the word you're looking for, and yes, there is a big difference.
Unhappy? Only near the end as his health was seriously fading.
He was actually a very happy and proud person.

Not at all? That's what I thought.
