YOU SAID...."The purpose of a eulogy is to praise the deceased, not draw attention to the speaker's politics."

I SAY....get over it....Ted Stevens WAS PRAISING Ronald Reagan. Get over it and give it a rest.

[longtermmemmory]

I think there are only two class of objections to stevens. Both are miniscule in legitimacy. 1. Just leftists who are upset at Reagans achievements and they just want to knock it down and 2. a few well meaning but misguided people who are hypersensitive about not duplicating the wellstone fiasco.

You can not discuss Reagan's presidency without discussing the points touched by Stevens.

[plain talk]

Hassert and Cheney praised him. Stevens gave a political speech. So, we disagree. And get more educated on funeral elogies while you're at it. You may need to give one some day.
