Rather than celebrate the life of Coretta Scott King and her husband Dr. Martin Luther King, several of the speakers chose to strike out against President Bush. As they did with the funeral of Congressman Paul Wellstone several years ago, the attempt was made to turn Mrs. King’s funeral into a Democratic Party pep-rally. These kinds of actions at what is supposed to be a memorial service—and this one was in a church for goodness sake—are deplorable. To politicize a funeral demonstrates a certain lack of class and of true feeling and respect for the person being laid to rest.
That is my opinion. Glenn Reynolds has more with lots of links here.
I find The Anchoress’ comments particularly interesting and meaningful—as usual.

It didn't watch it, but have read the various columnns on the comments made by a few speakers and and it sounds crass, no-class and digusting.
Heh... that describes Jimmy Carter to a tee!
