No, this is not a moment of silence for our fallen troops, nor Neda Soltan, nor any other victim of the Iranian government crackdown. Not even for Ed McMahon, who fought in our wars.
What did you expect? A moment of silence for a war hero? For a young woman killed by the Mullahs? For the American soldiers who have been killed in Iraq and Afghanistan?
Our Congress has chosen to honor a man who was one of the wackiest people on the planet.
