President Didn’t Deserve That

I don’t understand why your cartoon on Page C2 of the June 13 Pilot shows President Bush and Vice-President Cheney on the bandwagon pulling the casket of President Reagan.

I re-read their speeches at services for President Reagan to make sure I hadn’t missed something. Re-reading only confirmed my initial thoughts that they were both excellent speeches, which not only extolled the attributes of President Reagan, but also reminded us of the faith that Reagan had in the American people. The speeches did not take advantage of Reagan’s death to glorify or promote themselves.

I believe that the speakers were chosen by President Reagan’s family.

Please explain the reasoning behind your cartoon.
