Political Cortex: Please, Politicize My Funeral:

What else is a funeral anyway but the marking of the passing of a life? And what else is a life but the passions and causes that fill it? People who make demarcations between politics and personal life have always struck me as odd ducks. How we spend our time, what work we do, what purchases we make, the people we hang out with … the millions of little decisions we make over a lifetime add up to a political stance, defined or not. The personal and the political are seamlessly one.

Now if I - a mere speck of dust in the political solar system - feel this way, how am I to believe Coretta Scott King felt? Here we have a woman who spent her lifetime speaking out, marching, lending her name to causes and fighting injustice with integrity in every breath she took. Her husband died for speaking out and she continued to do the same. Am I really to assume she would “tut tut” at the heartfelt and sometimes raucous, sometimes tear-inducing funeral we witnessed today? Am I really expected to presume that Michelle Malkin and the other winger crybabies know better than her family what would have pleased her at her last official ceremony?

Go read the whole thing.

Malkin continues to bait US media:

Well, okay then, CNN. You won’t publish “negative caricatures.” But as I noted last night on Fox News, three of the Danish cartoons were positive, neutral, completely innocuous caricatures.

LA pointed out to me one of Malkin’s “innocuous caricatures” (and yes, I know I’m inviting fatwa by reproducing it here, but my dedication to freedom of speech has never been the issue):

Okay, it quite probably wasn’t the artist’s intent to depict Muhammed with devil horns…

…but let’s remember who’s pointing fingers.

Update: How, exactly, is something “positive, neutral”?
