@jpodhoretz That really does cut to the quick of it.

As Twitchy told you, President Obama will reportedly skip out on Justice Antonin Scalia’s funeral this Saturday. Multiple outlets are now confirming that that’s indeed the case:

MSNBC’s Chris Hayes, who’s not exactly an outspoken Obama critic, nonetheless tweeted something that sounds an awful lot like a subtle dig at the president:
Some amazing advice my mom gave me once: "If you're wondering whether you should go to the funeral, you should go to the funeral."
— Chris Hayes (@chrislhayes) February 17, 2016
Whoa.

It sure sounds like one … and if that’s the case, then well done, Mr. Hayes.

It’s not too late for President Obama to admit he was wrong and show some respect. Of course, he’s not the type to do something like that.
Too bad. He could learn a lot from Hayes’ mother.
@chrislhayes @KevinMaddenDC That is great advice. A very smart mother.

@chrislhayes @PastorFrisbie Never thought I could RT Chris Hayes. Good form.

@chrislhayes One of the few things that you and I agree on. Very good advice.
— Jason (@jayhup) February 17, 2016
@chrislhayes always this.

@chrislhayes yep funerals cannot be "done again". You do not get a "do over". Great advice.
— Skeetie1968 (@GBlakemore) February 17, 2016
@chrislhayes It never hurts to show respect. Ever.
— Cate (@catemb) February 17, 2016
@chrislhayes @POTUS should definitely attend. It's the Presidential thing to do. It's the right thing to do. #Scalia
