Yes it is established custom in Parliament, as any avid watcher of C-Span on Sunday evenings will attest to...However, we are not in the Palace of Westminster and Sen. Clinton still should not have been booed, she was not giving a political speech (at least from the clip I saw)...it was quite rude.

Everything that woman does is political -- everything.

as to the Commons, I will repeat what he says:
; but they are likewise taught, if they are well taught, to give the loosest possible rein to their resentment and indignation, whenever their parents, their friends, their country, or their brethren of the common family of mankind are injured. Those who have not such feelings, under such circumstances, are base and degenerate. These, my Lords, are the sentiments of the Commons of Great Britain.
Civility should have been first displayed by the crass politician affording herself a display in a tribute to heroes.
