Last night I whined about the Democratic-convention feel the Rosa Parks funeral seemed to have, just from my passing glance at it. Hillary, Bill, Kerry, Nancy P…

Last night I still wanted to give it the benefit of the doubt. Maybe I just caught the wrong parts. The exceptions.

But today I learn from Deroy Murdock that in the eulogy Jesse Jackson declared that President Bush “put forth an anti-Rosa Parks judge.”

Must funerals always become political rallies on the Left?

And why does the Left get to claim Rosa Parks? Brave American. Inspiring American. Does she need to become a liberal icon? Condi Rice is the walking legacy of Rosa Parks—a woman who as a girl had to walk on the other side of the street as white. Today she is Secretary of State and being buzzed about as a presidential contender. For goodness sake. Sometimes life is about more than partisan politics. That’s an obvious point for most Americans—you know, normal people. Foreign to anyone who considers drinks at the Capital Grille a night at home.
