Paul Wellstone is in my heart tonight
Advertisements [?]
I finished listening to Lies and the Lying Liars (its great on CD - Franken reads it himself and adds a lot to the book). I went back and listened for a second and third time to the chapters on Paul Wellstone and his memorial ceremony. You know, the one that the liberal media took and turned into a sinister plot by Senator Wellstone's family to turn into a political rally.

That segment re-kindled some very strong emotions. It reminded how wonderful a public servant that gentleman was. It reminded me of the joy I felt when his son spoke and I thought, then and now again, that this young man is destined for great things, and, sadly, it reminded me about how the whole affair was soiled by a group of very sad, lonely, and evil people. The CD contained segments of Limbaugh's commentary from his show the next day.

On this night I am remembering Senator Wellstone, and I am missing him a great deal.

If anyone knows whether a video recording of the memorial service is available, I would love to get a copy of it.
