Well, if George Bush gets up and shouts "We will win, we will win" and pumps thy air with his fists at the National Cathedral, we will deserve a backlash. Somehow, I don't think that's going to happen.

Or, if we sold hot dogs and beer at the National Cathedral, we would deserve backlash.

Or if we BOOED the democrats as they enter the cathedral, we would deserve it.

THAT is what got them the backlash; inviting all democrat speakers would not have done it. It was WHAT those speakers said, how they behaved, and showing those jolly laughing faces on the JUMBOTRON, accompanied by the cheers of the mob.

Which reminds me, not that it even matters, but do you remember any Republicans speaking at Senator Wellstone's funeral? I don't, but yet Democrats are gathering around microphones trying to claim entitlement to speak at Reagan's?

LOL. Somehow I can't imagine GWB doing that.

Oh, your post just reminded me of the person who should have been giving a eulogy but decided instead to appeal to the Republicans in attendance to show their respect for the deceased by voting democrat just this once. "Do it for Paul."
