There were "mourners" who BOOED at references to some of the Republican mourners who were present (e.g. Trent Lott).

If you aren't going to treat your mourners with respect, best you turn them away at the door as they did with the sitting VP. Can you think of the stink if they had waited for him to arrive before saying, "You aren't welcome here"?

If this Bette Midler impersonation goes over well, I'll either get a job in New Orleans or a date with Rosie !

I have no problems with critisims of the rants by our (s)elected democratic rulers. All I'm saying is that a son deserves to mourn his father as he pleases.

Poor taste does not excuse poor taste.
