Lt. gov. crashed Marine's funeral, kin say
By Tom Barnes, Post-Gazette Harrisburg Bureau
An example of how to open mouth and change feet.... Lt. Gov. Catherine Baker Knoll drops in to a Marine's funeral, but evidently knows nothing of the company in her midst.
What really upset the family, Goodrich said, is that Knoll said, 'I want you to know our government is against this war,' " Goodrich said.
She said she is going to seek an answer from Gov. Ed Rendell's administration if it opposes the fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Amazing... what kind of reaction would she expect from a military family grieving? Evidently not what she got.
"Our family deserves an apology," Rhonda Goodrich said. "Here you have a soldier who was killed -- dying for his country -- in a church full of grieving family members and she shows up uninvited. It made a mockery of Joey's death."

"Knoll felt this was an appropriate time to campaign and impose her will on us," Goodrich said. "I am amazed and disgusted Knoll finds a Marine funeral a prime place to campaign."
Not only will it be highly unlikely that the Goodrich's be giving her any votes in the future, perhaps Knoll has learned the most important lesson - don't be messing with our military families.
