Any event involving a Senator is political to some extent. The majority of what happened, however, was simple respect for the dead, mourners talking about a man they loved and respected. The primary purpose was not political, and the majority of those present were offended by the few who tried to use the event for political gain.
I see no distinction between the political gain sought by some jerk at Wellstone's funeral and the political gain sought by Rush.
