    I don't recall a president of any nation dying in such a freak accident. Granted it was in Russia so I don't put it past putin in doing this for some reason.

    Wouldn't that sort of be like Obama heading up an Acorn investigation?

    Anyone who decided to use this tragedy as a opprotunity to make some tasteless joke should be fuckin shot. That is not my opinion, its a fact. Put yourself in the shoes of a Polish civilian and have some respect for them. Its not just a sad day for Poland, but for the world. RIP

    "Poles were in deep mourning on Sunday after President Lech Kaczynski and many of the country's ruling elite were killed in a plane crash."

    "The chief of Poland's armed forces, the head of its navy, its central bank governor, opposition lawmakers and Kaczynski's wife Maria were among those killed in the crash"
