Now can the President go to a Few Funerals?

He won the election. The Democrats can't use that footage against him for re-election commercials. So when is the President going to go to some soldier's funerals?

Will Cheney be going? Wolfowitz? Rumsfeld? It is nice to know Rummy has finally started hand signing the letters to the dead.

They are still not allowing photos of flag covered coffins coming in at Dover.

They must still be concerned that there will be political fall out if he attends a funeral. I ask you, is this an honorable thing to do? If he is worried about his ratings, might he spend some of his political capital by showing up at some funerals? Regarding the toll of war he says, "I see on the TV screens how hard it is." Seeing a photo and being there listening to the sounds of crying mothers and fathers might make a bigger impact.

Is he still putting his politcal popularity over doing the right thing and honoring the fallen soldiers?

Today's pop quiz:

How many journalists have died covering this war?
How many people have died of torture and abuse in Abu Ghraib, Gitmo and Afganistan?

Answers later. Here's a hint; both numbers are in the double digits.
