dissin' da ford

i managed to avoid all the ford funeral coverage during yesterday's national day of mourning. (if you're more curious than i am, check out mustang bobby's post).

but while flipping through the paper this morning on the train i was struck by all the photos of a flag-draped coffin (e.g.). haven't we been told that pictures like this are disrespectful to the families of the deceased? hasn't betty suffered enough?
