Someone must have penciled in Liz Cheney as the first wingnut to denounce the sitting President for honoring the fallen troops.
From the
article:
Cheney: "I think that what President Bush used to do is do it without the cameras. And I don't understand sort of showing up with the White House Press Pool with photographers and asking family members if you can take pictures. That's really hard for me to get my head around...It was a surprising way for the president to choose to do this."
[...]
It's not clear exactly what Cheney is referring to when she says, "Bush used to do it without the cameras."
[...]
But as CBS's
Mark Knoller reported yesterday,
Obama was the first president to visit arriving dead at Dover during the wars in Afghanistan or Iraq -- meaning that when it came to taking trips to Dover like Obama did yesterday morning,
Bush never used to "do it" at all.

Well said, Miss Cheney. With your foot solidly in your mouth, I hardly imagine you'll respond.
