at my funeral...
...people can do whatever the hell they want.
I find the attempt to vilify the political nature of someone's funeral terrible. It's rightly left to the family and friends of the departed to conduct a funeral as they see fit. If that's shitting on the current administration (in the case of CS King) or rallying organized labor (in the case of Wellstone) then deal with it.
It is not anyone's right to tell the family and friends of someone who has died what their loved one's life should mean to them.
Furthermore, Bush should have realized that going to a non-voilence advocating dissident's funeral was opening himself up to criticism for being a warmonger. Frankly the GOP needs to realize it's lost the minority vote with it's policies (most recently on the imigration front, but also the urban front) and cut its losses in those situations where it feels the risk of a boondoggle may be worth a little PR help. I'd like to know whose idea it was for him to go. I hope they learned a lesson.

The repukes seem to have our media by the balls. They can show up at a KKK rally and call for the execution of all poor people and non-Moonies, yet if a liberal speaks up at a funeral everyone is supposed to flip out.
Rush can call for all liberals to be rounded up in camps yet Kanye said Bu$h hates blacks and it's the end of the world.
Can you beilieve our troops in Iraq get 4 hours of RUSH every day??? With no counterbalance of reality?
repukes are running this country into the ground with the help of ultra right wing ABC, CBS, CNN, and everyone else on the teevee.
