I really don't see much in the way of politics here. Margaret Thatcher came pretty close, but kept to the big picture and global issues as opposed to partisan comments. This is a great departure from the Paul Wellstone funeral.

Republicans didn't object to say, Mondale running on continuing Wellstone's politics, or people talking about what Wellstone stood for. What was offensive about the Wellstone fune-rally was all the chanting and screeching "we will win." And nobody said that Carter and Clinton couldn't attend Reagan's funeral, the way Dick Cheney was disinvited from Wellstone's memorial; Carter and Clinton just weren't asked to speak. As usual, the Democrats distort the issues here.

I couldn't agree more!

I am still waiting for someone to play Hitler audio clips with those of many of the dems this past few years as they've gotten to screeching and mimicking that Nazi cadence.

Don't hear any booing from the Republicans the way they booed Trent Lott.

That was just so disrespectful of Wellstone himself. Hey, if you'r being crass at funeral, why not fart during the benediction,that'd be a hoot wouldn't it.
