I didn't catch that. Hmm. Rudeness at a time like this has no place.
It was the eldest son, Michael. He is an Epicopalian Minister as well. I give them all (family and VP) a pass. I'm not defending, I'm saying I cut them slack. That moment at the coffin was very personal and I can see that the family thought of it as a family moment. Whereas Cheney was acting as a close friend and host...he IS President of the Senate. Perhaps he meant to hand her off to them but they didn't know that and thought he was acting in what should have been THEIR place. It's unfortunate. I wish it had been worked out by everyone ahead of time, but apparently it had slipped through the cracks.
