Contrary to popular belief, Khrushchev wasn't going to bury us, rather, simply attend our funeral. So I go with him.

I actually didn't get that either, but I assumed it was some inside joke that everybody who's into politics would understand, except for me. So I didn't want to say anything lest people point and laugh at me.
Well, don't worry about that, man.
The fact is, of course, that we attended the funeral of Khrushchev's ghastly regime, so I'm not sure what the funeral reference is really about. And of Khrushchev did actually say "we will bury you," so there's no disputing that.
Anybody who would seriously prefer him over the current president has the maturity and intelligence of a lampshade.
