[WOODPIE]

I watched some of the proceedings in DC this afternoon, and I was wondering....

I might be wrong, but this is the first funeral I can remember where the widow was applauded. And hooted, as in what one might hear at a sporting event or rock concert. I thought it in very poor taste, but maybe I'm just out of touch with this national sentiment, or at least the acceptable ways of showing support to the surviving family. Should I just go out and buy a clue?
