For the record
I don’t want any jumbotrons at my funeral. I don’t want the Clintons or Ted Kennedy there either. I’m talking about the memorial service for the late Sen. Paul Wellstone and five others.
State House Speaker Steve Sviggum, R-Kenyon, said it was disrespectful that the crowd cheered when former President Bill Clinton, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-Mass., appeared on the big monitors and that the crowd jeered when U.S. Senate Minority Leader Trent Lott, R-Miss., and former GOP Sen. Rod Grams of Minnesota were on the screens.
