Hillary was there to stand on the podium with Bill and stare lovingly at him while he spoke. It was meant to be a statement about the state of their marriage, for whatever reason. Problem is, she was only able to keep up the charade for a short time. But then, when he was done, it would have been awkward for her to just sit down, so she had to ramble on about something.
No, I can't imagine that. That's because Reagan's supporters had too much class to use his funeral as a soapbox for browbeating their political opponents. Aside from that, Reagan probably would have sat up in his casket and rebuked them, if they had done that.
No, but moonbat Jimmuh Cartuh was on Larry King Live, declaring that they [Democrats] had actually won the Presidential election in 2000. So Gore wasn't installed, either.
"DUmmies admit that Mrs King's corpse made a useful PR prop"
I wonder if any of them bothered to ask Yolanda, MLK III, Dexter, or Bernice how they would feel about that?
"I was expecting an assload of balloons and confetti to drop from the ceiling at any moment!"
...complete with someone screaming, "Balloons! We need the balloons! Where the @#$! are the @#$*#%#* baloons????"
Good point!
"Hey, it is that dreary soporific monotone that is going to . . . um . . . you know . . . pave the way to Republican victory in 2008!"
It's either the dreary, soporific monotone...or the ear-piercing, nails-across-the-blackboard shriek. Take your pick.
Hey, get a load of this thread. The DUmmies are laughing at Laura Bush and her reaction to Joseph Lowery's remarks:

I still think some of the African sounding names taken by black Americans whose American ancestry goes back 2 or 3 hundred years are a bit silly, but of course that's just MHO.
Probably why Jessie Jackasson wasn't allowed to speak at her funeral.....I've heard rumors that Jessie and Coretta DID NOT get along at all....(not all "civil rights" activists are con artists....)
They love their little weasel phrases. Another example is when they try to blame conservative talk radio for "creating the climate" that led to some heinous crime like the Oklahoma City bombing.
African or European?
"A man has died. This is no time to keep score."
re: Paul Wellstone funerally (William Saletan)
Oh, wrong funeral? Was there a difference?
In Before The Double PING! This time....
Dude. You're killing me-- I'm in a library, trying not to guffaw.
Quiddit! You're killing me!!!!
If Republicans were as disgraceful as Democrats:
Bush: "Corretta Scott King worked her whole life to defeat racial discrimination written into law by the Democratic Party. Her tireless struggle to overcome the Democrat Jim Crow Laws will forever be remembered."
"But what will we will all remember most is her endless perseverence. When Democrats bombed her home in Alabama, she persevered. When KKK members like Democratic Senator Robert Byrd marched in support of segregation and filibustered the Civil Rights Act, she persevered. When John and Robert Kennedy tapped her phoneline to spy on her husband, she persevered. When Jimmy Carter ran for Governor on a segregationist platform, she persevered."

Yes, which is one of the reasons that cheap shots from a race industry political hack like Lowery, and more cheap shots from the King of the Gulag-endorsing Useful Idiots served only to cheapen what should have honored her.
