I am under no obligation to heap praise. I'm not a grave-pisser by inclination, but at some point, if the sop becomes too incredulous to bear, I may drop a truth bomb or two into the discussion.

I agree with Preet Bharara's opinion too.

When one says something kind and respectful upon a former leader’s death, it does not mean one loves everything that person did. But it is right and good and American to honor service and character, especially these days, when it seems in such short supply. IMHO. #RIPGHWB
