Editorial of the day

Peggy Noonan brings the Coretta Scott King funeral and the Muslim cartoon furor together and makes a great point about some of the tasteless things said at the funeral:

"So what? This was the authentic sound of a vibrant democracy doing its thing. It was the exact opposite of the frightened and prissy attitude that if you draw a picture I don't like, I'll have to kill you.

It was: We do free speech here."
