I've seen the same phenomena when dealing with people who have led lives filled with criminal behavior.

They are eulogized as "saints-on-earth" after their death.

Amazing.

I'm really going to hate myself for saying this out loud, but....

Look, Paul Wellstone was a Jew who died on a Friday, and they still haven't removed the bodies from the crash site or positively identified him. If after three days of deification in the press he comes walking out of that tamarack swamp Sunday morning, and tells a miraculous tale of being thrown from the wreck and surviving, I won't know whether to fall at his feet and worship him or grab my Bible and run screaming.
