The Ghouls from the Right are Joined by the Ghouls from the Left

Even though Halloween is gone, the full scale attack in the media on Wellstone's funeral continues (we'll laugh about it some day, I'm sure). Peggy Noonan goes so far as to channel Wellstone himself in order to admonish his family and friends that they have "no class". The etiquette arbiters have decided that only Hillary Clinton can be booed with impunity at a memorial (9.11) while doing same to Trent Lott amounts to a "debacle" Jesse Ventura felt so "used" that he wants to appoint a garbage man to Wellstone's seat as an act revenge against the mourners ("we Navy Seals don't get mad, we get even"). And the Green candidate for senate - the guy who pulled buggers from his nose during the debate? He's also appalled about the political tone of the memorial.
