Readers needed to know that, when you visit Arlington, you might not know exactly what you’re supposed to do when confronted by those rows of headstones, but you damn sure know what you’re not supposed to do. But the coverage this week left many readers with the impression that the whole thing might have been a bureaucratic mix-up, or some tedious violation of protocol. It focused on bland horse-race coverage so common during election season, rather than clearly stating what really took place: an egregious and willful violation of long-standing norms. What was missing from the coverage was a willingness to quickly and decisively state what a grievous insult the whole debacle was to the dignity of Arlington. The sacred had been profaned.
Well fucking said.
LMFAO… Yes the presidential candidate who is already a felon just committed more crimes on live TV, but there are more important things in the election than choosing the best person to represent us instead of a criminal. Oh… Wait… No… There isn’t… That’s what an election is, choosing the best representative and not criminals.
