Why, I wonder, didn't the same thinking apply to Maggie Thatcher's funeral?
President Obama couldn't be bothered to name an official representative, much less attend himself.
George H.W. Bush was unable to attend, due to his poor health.
So why didn't W. take up the slack for America in this case?
W didn’t go to Thatcher’s funeral? I did not know that. That’s just messed up. Did he give some kind of excuse at the time?
