The media has dropped everything to dwell on every symbolic detail of the Reagan funeral extravaganza.

Why haven't the 700+ soldiers who died in Iraq been honored publicly? Did they not serve our country, too? Did they not make the ultimate sacrifice? Are they less worthy of public notice than Reagan?

The media should be ashamed. Bush should be ashamed. But there is no shame anymore.
