How disengenuous. You can celebrate Mrs. King's politics without taking cheap shots at invited guests. Democrats have dishonored her memory.
Exactly.
Why didn't they stick to talking about what SHE DID, rather than what (Bush) is DOING?
They manage to make these wakes profligate political forums ABOUT the LIVING *AND* PRESENT (Bush), rather than about THE DECEASED.
Maybe King feels ripped off that they didn't talk more about HER at HER funeral.
More to the point, the pot shots (especially Lowery's) were based on lies. So, to defend them, one must defend the idea that telling a lie from the pulpit of a church is justified as long as it has some connection to the dearly departed's general political beliefs.
