RIGHT to speak? Are you saying freedom of speech is violated if you are not ask to speak at a funeral. A political opponents funeral? I think it is strickingly pretentious that Clinton expected to speak. Invited to attend..sure. Speak...there are MANY long time friends, heads of state, fellow public servants that workled for him, etc. that I expect would be higher priority than Clinton. I'm sure Nancy had a big say in who is speaking. Would you superceed her wishes as well?
If Bush uses his time to bash Kerry, then I'll agree he politicized it. Otherwise, it's a memorial service.
