Sen. Paul Wellstone's funeral would be like comparing a backyard get together to the World's Fair, once that happened. The wailing, the moaning, the gnashing of teeth...
the fundraising! It would be glorious, I tell ya, freaking glorious!
Every Democrat in the nation would be there, fighting for position in the church. Watch Chuck Shumer elbow Dianne Feinstein out of the way for a closer seat. See Jesse Jackson deliver a eulogy about how he marched with Bill Clinton, when all those churches were being set afire in Arkansas when they were both young men. Listen for Sarah Brady calling for more "reasonable gun legislation" to honor his life. Wait for James Carville to get up and blame his premature death on Ken Starr ("That pervert!"). Jimmy Carter of course, would get up and blame Bush.
In the days following, there would be so much money flowing into Hillary's campaign office, it would be hard to keep up. Heck, so much money even all the Chinese contributions might be hard to discover. All of this would take place of course, with a choir of probably 200 black gospel singers swaying in the background.
The whole event would likely be captured on a commemorative DVD, and later sold for more contributions. Nah, it wouldn't slow her down one bit.
