When Joe McCarthy died, Dean Acheson released a statement that read simply "Speak well of the dead or say nothing at all."

That sentence should have been the entire text of the White House response to that terrorist pig's death.

It's worth remembering that Bill Sammon surprised Bush with the question. I thought that he handled it well. Nobody could ever mistake this Commander-in-Chief for a fan of Yasser Arafat.

The same cannot be said for certain previous occupants of the Oval Office.

As for Dean Acheson, "Speak well of the dead or say nothing at all."
