You mean like all the bile spilled in defense of the illegal and reprehensible actions of Bubba Clinton by Clintonistas such as Carvile, etc?

In any event. JFK, Jr's. death is a real tragedy for his family. I do for once agree with Bubba that it was right to go the extra mile to recover the bodies. Imagine the unseemly things which might have happened if the situation was dealt with otherwise. I suppose an argument could be made that using a US Navy destroyer to conduct the service at sea crosses the line, but I fail to see any real harm in it. IMO, we may as a country owe JFK, Jr. a little extra since he did have his father taken from him while he was in service to the nation (regardless of how one values the service politically speaking). I'm no Kennedy lover and I happen to think Ted Kennedy is a national disgrace but it is hard not to sympathize with the family at times like these. What's more, this conclusion seems a natural result. Its just a fact of life that those with political influence, celebrity status or $$$$, get preferred treatment. Thus it has always been and always will be. JLA
