The mother of a Marine who died liberating Iraq and who provided the emotional high point of Wednesday night's State of the Union Address when she hugged a grateful Iraqi voter sitting in the gallery, denied Thursday morning that the unforgettable episode had been staged, as several left-leaning commentators have alleged.
And I believe her. What she fails to understand is that it was no accident they hadn't been introduced before. I'm not saying she was queue, coached or acted in anyway. I'm saying things like this are controlled and there's a reason these women weren't introduced to each other until the speach, a reason I support, have no problem with, and in no way feel lessens the power of the event.
