We’ll let a reader have the last word today…
I have boundless sympathy for a mother whose son has been killed in any way, let alone one who has given his life in a war. But I’m sorry, this woman is riding this situation for partisan political ends. Bush HAS met with her in the past; several members of his administration have met with her; she continues to slam Bush, and promote Democratic websites, at every opportunity. I don’t believe Drudge is smearing her; she has injected herself into the political scene, and warrants the same scrutiny as anyone else involved in that game; we can’t just let her use her poor son as an all-purpose shield out of sentimentality. There comes a point when her using this for political point-scoring dishonors her son’s patriotic sacrifice.
A reader,ML
That’s all for today. Unless Andrew comes to his senses and changes the passwords this evening, I’ll be back with you tomorrow.
