You’d think something as rare and significant as a state funeral for a United States President would be important enough to attend… but incoming Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has decided a vacation (isn’t that what you liberals call it when Bush is working in someplace other than Washington, D.C.?) to see some old ruins is more important.

WASHINGTON - Incoming Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid will miss the state funeral for former President Gerald Ford at the Capitol Rotunda on Saturday night, opting instead to lead a delegation to South America with an expected stop at the Machu Picchu Inca ruins.

Ahhh, the priorities of a Senate so-called leader…
