Liberals must have spoken their minds again, because it looks like a bunch of strong, brave, patriotic Bush-supporters have a case of the vapors. Those poor, persecuted Republicans are always being victimized by something, I guess. Sorry, we forgot that President Bush is only allowed to attend events filled with hand-picked supporters so that he doesn't have to hear criticism.
What is it with all of these Emily Post Republicans? Those clowns were on the opposite side of Coretta Scott King during every important fight of her life, and yet somehow they get to advise the rest of us on appropriate behavior during her funeral?
When I die, I hope that my family and friends will speak at my funeral and, among other things, talk about the things that were important to me. I suspect most people feel the same way, even a lot of Republicans, and good for them!
