Democrats have discovered caskets make great soapboxes. And the best part about it is, nobody dares walk out nor does the guest of honor (the deceased) object or hog the stage!
It reminds me of an old skit from "In Living Color," in which the brothers of Funky Finger Productions crash a funeral for a Hollywood star they pretend that they knew. They use the occasion of his funeral to hog the stage and promote and tout their latest productions (pronounced "produczionnes", Italian-style).
David Alan Grier and Tommy Davison were hilarious. The fools at Mrs. King's funeral are just pathetic.
