Nelson Mandela was a great man and has died, it’s only natural that dignitaries from around the world should attend his funeral, and it should be covered by the media. This is where I want to puke: it’s only natural that Mr . Harper and his wife should attend to represent Canada, but how come Chretien, Mulroney, Campbell get to travel on the fancy jet? What further boils my bag is the two parasitic former GG’s Michael Jean and Adrienne Clarkson also go along – WHY?
The taxpayer funded CBC have a frigging ghetto full of ‘journalists’ on this junket to give us the left wing perspective on this important event, again WHY? They could’ve used Ron Burgundy FFS —Conrad Slack

The former PMs and GGs should absolutely have paid their own way. As far as the Taxpayer Funded Media Collective are concerned, most of them probably spent the “Struggle ” years puking up B-52s.
“Hay, play Free Nelson Mandela”
“Who’s Nelson Mandela?”
“Who cares. the song really rocks”
omg and potus shook raul castro’s hand, he’s a commie hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
It gives them more time served towards their overinflated pensions they will recieve.
On the right you have Harper, Chretien, Mulroney, Campbell, Jean and Clarkson.
On the left, you have frigging ghetto full of [CBC] ‘journalists’ .
The World is balanced again.
This is Campbell’s payback for taking the stink from Mulroney’s shitpile. She better enjoy it, ’cause this is it.
And former presidents of the US went with Obama, as did many former leaders of other countries on their respective government aircraft. So fucking what. It is normal practice of countries throughout the world. And I’m sure if Fidel wasn’t sick, he’d have been there with Raoul. Talk about panties in a knot. And BTW, I wouldn’t put too much stock in that handshake. Who needs Rotten Ronnie’s, et al, on the island.
After I’d written this post I discovered that the freshly minted Premier had gone along, big blunder, that’s my opinion.
RIP Bill Jessome, I understand his wig is to be buried separately with full Military honours?
And ALL the Premiers were invited.
I figured from the handle that this was your handiwork, Bazzer.
Whodathunkit. The two biggest right-wing larkers on LTWWB being admirers of Tata

I don’t really mind the tag along since Harpy was going anyways…
did we foot a hotel bill/ food / something as well?
’cause on that I’d call major bullshit.
Nukka didn’t get offered to go 🙁
