Rush was speechless. He basically said that he thought that he had seen it all, but that this "performance" was basically lower than low.
On the local afternoon radio show in Pittsburgh(KDKA, Fred Honsberger) the usual leftist callers were in full throttle. "Cynthia"(a greenie if there ever was one) stated that Wellstone was basically assasinated by Bush. "Carolyn" who repeats the New York Times editorials whenever she calls was defensive shouting to Fred that this was a "private" event.
In closing, most of the callers recognized the Wellstone "memorial" for what it was, a cheap grab at the symapthy vote and were repulsed.
Yes, our local radio talk show following Rush basically had the same take....that it was in bad taste...and that it disgraced Wellstone's memory with it's mean-spirited attitude toward those Republicans who attended.
