[George W. Bush]

I have no problem with your comment, and I lost a son 18 months ago. It's a calamity -- the worst thing in the world. Still, I would expect to be held accountable for any "cause" I misused his death to support.

Brit Hume lost a son too, 3-4 years back. When he came back on the air, he used a segment to talk a bit about it. It was very touching.

But Hume didn't start advocating the creation of memorial legislation. I wonder if he'll have a segment on Gordon's legislation.

You have absolutely no way of knowing what Mr. Hume did to memorialize his son, but I guarantee you he did do something. To repeat, there are probably as many ways this particular response to grief manifests itself as there are people on the planet.

For people who are always bleating about Judeo-Christian values, and conservative principles, and such, I swear some of the harshest, meanest, most mindless commentary I've ever read can be found right here on this conservative forum!

I'd wager that Brit Hume and his wife would pity you and edwords. You should consider changing your screen name.
