As further proof that the lib contingent is not "partisan" by the strictest (i.e., dictionary) definition of the word, I'd say booing Bush as he laid a wreath at MLK's grave is a pretty classless* move. A special award for irony deficiency to the protestor who carried a sign reading "'It's not a photo-op George.'" Criticize the photo op by doing something other than picketing, assjack; a cemetary is also not a protest site.
*I defer to the FB definition of classless.

In fairness, they weren't booing the laying of the wreath, they said they were booing the fact that "the president’s policies on Iraq, affirmative action and funding for social services conflict with King’s legacy. They also complained that the scheduling conflicted with their own plans to honor King."
Also, that he was not formally invited, on top of the fact that everyone knows that it was just a photo op.
Plus, Martin would have wanted it that way, he was a civil disobedience type of guy.
