The liberals are at war with the President. He and his advisers were unwise in having him submit to humiliation at the hands of his domestic enemies......

All too true. But for all we know, his advisors DID tell him to stay away. He came out on top. He showed class and respect for the departed. All he had to do was listen to the assorted bastards. If he'd stayed away, he would have been crucified.

Irrespective of what direction the President took with regard to the Coretta Scott King, he would have been crucified by the liberals. Over at DU, they are gloating at President Bush's humiliation. One of them posted a picture of the First Lady with an angry expression while some black preacher, possibly Rev. Joseph Lowry, was at the podium.

I just don't think that the office of the Presidency should be subject to public humiliation. President Bush's instincts may be fundamentally decent, but this is one trip he should not have taken.

Al Sharpton was on O'Reilly last night--Bill BLASTED him for the political potshots during the funeral. Al came back with an insult for the President, saying he couldn't be bothered to stay and listen to Bernice's (Coretta's daughter who is a preacher, IIRC) eulogy--d'oh, Al!! Clinton and his wife didn't bother to stay either! But no mention of that. Can you imagine the security nightmare if all 4 presidents and their wives had stayed until the funeral was over (IIRC, there were over 10,000 people in that building alone, not counting the ones milling about outside)?? I don't blame them ALL for leaving early. I'm sure Bush has Tivo at the White House, duh!

President Bush can't win with the libs no matter what he does, so I think his view of staying above it all is a very good one. Just makes them look more like the undignified dolts the
libs are!
