“I don’t know how Obama can take time out to comment on Prince’s death when we still don’t know what happened at Benghazi!”

As quoted by: Pick a Wingnut.

I wish so and fantasize almost everyday and on the other days I try not to think about it even though it is rapidly approaching.

He took time from not kissing and not holding hands with a Saudi prince in Riyadh to issue that statement.

At the other end of the Prince-death-responding spectrum we have Wolf Blitzer, the guy who wondered how we could ever forget that unforgettable film “Purple Haze” that we’ll always remember. Those CNN people, got their fingers on the pulse.

As always.

We’ve gotten spoiled by a brilliant, articulate President.

Me, anyway.

Any second some winger is going to complain about Obama politicizing Prince’s death.

Finally a tie in between Prince and politics. I thought maybe I overwrote my link to TPM with a link to Entertainment Weekly. So the President says nice things about the dead like everybody else. OK.

Like everybody else?

I was sitting at the cancer center today, because my husband has a very early stage of skin cancer. Brought my trusty iPad and was shocked to see the first thread about Prince shut down because one or two crazies/sad attention-seekers were making unbelievable comments.

One of them apparently has five different IP addresses.

Ah, the internet.

Thank you. It’s been an interesting couple of weeks between this and a much less serious medical procedure. He’ll be fine.

I just read Obama’s statement to my husband. He asked, “Can you imagine Bernie Sanders putting out a statement like this?”

Hillary could, although Obama’s is just right.

I too was looking for a way to bend Prince’s death into a Bernie-bashing moment, but you beat me to it.
