“We knew there were no weapons of mass destruc­tion over there; but Cor­etta knew there were weapons of mis­dir­ec­tion right down here.”

Joseph Lowery at Cor­etta King’s funeral. Wow, nice work. Bush was *in* the audi­ence. Guess he does­n’t hear that dir­ectly too often and guess the crowd’s roar of approval and stand­ing ova­tion would­n’t have made him very happy. Clin­ton’s com­ments were quite good too, I thought.

And wow, wow, wow. Maya Angelou was amaz­ing. This would have been an amaz­ing funeral to be at… the cream of Amer­ica’s talent, I’d hazard. Sad that it takes a funeral to get that kind of coverage…
