The Senate is attending a memorial service for David Rosenbaum? NYT writer

Why? Huh? How come? :crazy: Is that not weird? or is it just me? Do they always attend memorial services for murdered journalists?

1. Link? The entire senate?

3. It's on C-SPAN

the Judicial Committee members are attending. They are having a brief recess.

And yes this would be normal. Media people and political people hob-nob a lot together. This guy was in the Wash bureau for years, I'm sure a lot of Congress Critters personally knew him.

7. No link...Specter just said that's where they were going

on their break.

2. if true, very weird. reminds me of mob funerals, where other capos

show up and hold a mirror under their nose to make they're dead.

4. And what funerals for the troops they sent off to be killed?

6. They've got enough to handle with the aging veterans, they claim.

Unbelievable.

5. What's esp. sad is that he was killed by someone like this guy...

He saw the video evidence of his crime (using the stolen credit card) and showed up at the police station to find out why he was on TV? I mean, really, :wtf: :freak:
