Instapundit says Dems not properly mournful
Posted by
Why? Because there is a picture of Mondale and Clinton laughing at the service.
Gee, turning a memorial service into a joyous remembrance of a man’s life and work and passion. What a rotten, horrible idea.
UPDATE: Yeah, I am sarcastic and pissy here. I don’t care. Instapundit took a cheap shot at politicians he does not approve of based on the fact that he doesn’t think laughing is appropriate at a memorial service. As if people haven’t been laughing at their grief since time began. Ever hear of an Irish wake? Clinton and Mondale, and the people who attended the rally in general, prefer to celebrate the life instead wallow in the death. Instapundit sees it as a sign of moral failing instead of what it is - an expression of strength and love. Instapundit is so blinded by his hatred of all things progressive that he refuses to see the simple truth - not everyone mourns in his prescribed fashion. it is pathetic.
UPDATE 2: Drudge is in on the act
Pathetic is precisely the right word. And I suspect his Instaship would have found fault even if Clinton and Mondale had been crying. In other words it’s the actors not the the action. Pathetic.

Yeah, I’ve been seeing this all over the place, even on sites that aren’t overtly Repugnican. Damned pathetic.

Y’know, if making any political gain off of the death of a candidate is verbotten then assasination becomes an even more effective weapon.
