Extract

President Bush sat on the aisle in the second row, next to his wife,
Laura. Beside them were French President Jacques Chirac and his wife,
Bernadette. The two presidents shook hands.

When Bush's face appeared on giant screen TVs showing the ceremony, many
in the crowds outside St. Peter's Square booed and whistled.

Whistes are usually a favorable response.

So? That proves absolutely nothing other than some folks there liked him
and some did not. And many probably remained silent as this was not the
proper time to express ones likes or dislikes for the man.....it was, after
all, the funeral for the Pope, not a poltical rally.

Those who effectively turned the Pope's funeral into a political
photo-op deserve any negative reaction that inspires- whether that's
Clinton, Bush, or anyone else.

Have you watched the olympics or any other international competition in
the past 30 years? Whistling has always been a "boo" for Europeans.
