We’ve just learned that Barack Obama has “just said no” to attending the funeral of former First Lady Nancy Reagan, so he can instead attend the SXSW media festival in Austin, Texas (city motto: “The Liberal Cancer in the Lone Star State”).
“If I didn’t attend a funeral for a sitting Supreme Court Justice, I sure as hell won’t be wasting my time going to one for an old first lady,” the president may well have said. “Give me a break, there’s nothing less important than a first lady!”
