Back in 2002, shortly before the election, Senator Wellstone was killed in a plane crash. And at the memorial service, a number of political people made the point to honor Paul Wellstone's memory, vice president -- ex-vice president Mondale who was running in the state should be elected. There were also -- there was some booing, apparently, not that much, directed at some Republican senators there. It became an article of faith on the political right that this had become a real ugly moment, when partisanship replaced memorials.

Doesn't that diminish the Wellstone incident, and imply that while the booing of some attendees to the funeral may not have been ugly, it was later perceived to be ugly???? What's up with that?
