For John, BLUF: If you think resident Trump plummered his call the the Gold Star wife, think about Ms Warren's actions at a Memorial Service. Nothing to see here; just move along.
An article in today's edition of The Boston Globe, by Correspondents Julia Jacobs and Victoria McGrane (24 October 2017).
Here is the lede plus one:
When Senator Elizabeth Warren on Sunday told a national television audience a personal story of sexual harassment from her days as a young law professor, she described a harrowing incident that left her shaken. She said that she wondered if she’d done something to deserve it and that she told no one but a close friend.It may just be me, but to go to someone's funeral or memorial service and discuss the person's failings, no matter the humorous tone, seems very wrong.♠But the tone of her telling, recounted on NBC’S “Meet the Press,” appears to be inconsistent with the reportedly more lighthearted manner in which she described the same incident two decades after it occurred, during the memorial service for the senior University of Houston faculty member she accused of pursuing her around his office.
Hat tip to the InstaPundit.

♠ And, the deceased is no longer present to defend himself or herself, which makes such things even more tacky.
