"Supporting" the Troops

Russell Waldrow:

I'm highlighting this story - about the lieutenant governor of Maine showing up uninvited at the funeral of a local marine who died in Iraq so she could pass out her business cards and tell the family and others how much her administration opposed the war - not to bang the outrage drum (though doing so is completely appropriate, as whenever a high ranking lpublic official shows such disrepect to our honorably serving military), but rather to make a political observation.

I agree with the title of Russell's post.
