Why? I can't believe you'd ask "why"? Obviously Clinton wants his state funeral to detract from the $45 Million of campaign commercials that Kerry just paid for and that are to be run this month.
The Clintons must defeat Kerry in order to prove that Viet Nam war heroes can't beat candidates who didn't serve in Viet Nam. (Hillary was AWOL)
Look...if this were a political stunt...it would actually help Kerry. It would take attention away from Bush, who is highlighted because he just finished his convention. It would slow the bump he will get.
hmmmmm.....maybe they are up to something
