Put aside ethical question for a while, politically, if people play the card correctly, it works. Ask Mel Carnahan's wife, Jean. Of course, it could also be overplayed, like the famous Wellstone's funeral.
The politics at Wellstone's funeral came across as disgusting because it was. I'm weary of this. All this talk about conservatives being principled and ethical - time to live up to it. No exploiting someone's death for political purposes.
I agree. Wait for a day or a week and then spin it right.
Only Dems would be so tacky as to hold a political rally at a funeral.
