When a caller asked what the problem with the "service" was, if this was what the family wanted, he said that her question was indicative of the problem itself, that we used to have common standards of decency, of "how to go on" in certain situations, and we have lost that.What this did was slap a cold hand of reality across the romance stricken faces of the voter who had bought into the myth of Wellstone as being this great principled liberal of conscience. Although it isn't really being said much, everyone realizes that the problem isn't that Wellstone would have been appalled at the display; quite the contrary, had Tom Harkin been the one dead instead we likely would have seen Wellstone leading the partisan display. This is who they are. This is what Democrats teach their kids about respect and dignity and propriety, as shown by the juvenille populist cry of "we will win" from the junior Wellstone. The problem is that the Democrats don't know any better, can't see what was wrong with what they did, and simply don't understand that America not only doesn't share their outlook and attitude, but that America is repulsed by it whenever America sees it clearly.
Last night was Paul Wellstone's legacy, and it put the progressive liberalism of the Democratic party into clear focus, and the people are repulsed.

All in all, he was disturbed and almost at a loss for words to describe what happened, which is saying something when we're talking about Rush.
