So I sit down to watch the nightly news, and it hits me. This funeral was scheduled at the same time as the national nightly news broadcasts!

And lo and behold--they are now going live to the Capitol rotunda right now because, surprise surprise--Dubya and his darlin' gal have arrived to pay their respects, again, timed perfectly for the nightly news broadcast.

Sigh.

If only people could make genuine distinctions between the hucksters and manipulaters, and the real deal.
