...we're leaving the country when Heckle and Jeckle kick the bucket.

Oh, not me. It will be too interesting. The hillbillies will pull out all the stops in their effort to one-up RR's send-off. But going back to Little Rock just can't compete with the "sea to shining sea" picture-perfect tribute to President Reagan. The foundation for all this week's tributes was LOVE. From the storybook love affair between Ron and Nancy, to his unmistakable love for this country, his God and for freedom.

The Toons have no such foundation.

When x42 slinks away, the commentators will be respectful. Guests will swoon in an Elvis sort of way, but it will ring false. Between the lines, we'll know that they know it was all about him. He loved himself. They won't say it, but they'll know his was a wasted presidency.

When you put it that way,,, it's almost sounds like fun. Hmm, might have to rethink that trip.

The Clintons have no class, therefore they could not ever come close to the dignified send-off given to Reagan.

Clinton did nothing of lasting value or worth during his 8 years occupying the White House.(Occupation is an appropriate term) What great accomplishments would be discussed as his legacy?

Don't ask, don't tell?
Bringing down the evil Branch Davidians?
His saxophone playing? Bombing an aspirin factory?
Making oral sex a household word?

My husband remarked last night that he didn't think Bill would go for the large funeral because he doesn't believe he'll ever die.

Absolutely perfect analysis.
