""Everybody's got to deal with their own schedule," Sensenbrenner, who brought his wife and son to the funeral, said of his absent colleagues. In his minority view, funerals "are important," he said. "When you're in an official position, it's one of the things that's the right thing to do."
It's important, cuz if you don't go to their funeral, they won't go to yours.. Sensenbrenner gets that.
