Some are missing... [View all]

That's correct two Presidents were absent today in Washington to commemorate ML King's infamous march 50 years ago. I am sure those supporters of the Bush family have a lovely reason for their absence. Granted, HW Bush is probably too frail but he could have sent one of his healthy sons, then again there probably aren't any MLK supporters from the Lone Star State. Just an observation.
