From Peter Wehner, at Commentary:

In our more honest moment[s], we will admit to ourselves, if not to others, that from time to time – perhaps unwittingly, perhaps unconsciously – we use human tragedies to advance our own political agendas. That doesn’t mean the sympathy we feel is false; it only means that our feelings are driven by multiple and often unstated factors...

He's awfully generous toward the Tear-Jerker-in-Chief.

But keep reading, FWIW.
