The latest trend in Bushbashing is centered on how Bush apparently doesn't attend enough (read: any) funerals for US soldiers killed in Iraq. What's worse, he doesn't allow cameras to show the flag-draped coffins being unloaded from planes here in America. What's worse yet, he kicks puppies.

Bush-backers are quick to point out that no other President has ever attended a funeral, with the exception of LBJ, who attended all of two during Vietnam. Sure, they all attend memorial services and stuff, but never a funeral for an individual soldier.

My opinion: who cares? This is a classic case of "man, I wish I would have thought of that." Because we all know that if some righty strategist had figured out that Clinton wasn't attending funerals for the soldiers killed in Kosovo that the spin machine would have been turning the opposite direction. Makes me puke either way.

Next issue, please.
