And everyone at the funeral would be reminded about how he acted in the Oval Orifice:
I have dirty ones with Monica, but no for this time. And not for FR, either, LOL:):):)
You know what I mean.

Controversy develops over Reagan funeral speakers...
'President Clinton really held out all hope the funeral would be a nonpartisan event, like Nixon's was,' a top Clinton source said on Tuesday morning. 'He's angry and disappointed neither he nor President Carter have been asked to speak, as of yet'...
CLINTON DISAPPOINTMENT: LEFT OFF FUNERAL SPEAKERS LIST
Former President Bill Clinton has privately expressed anger he has apparently been left off the speakers list of Friday's Reagan State Funeral, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.
"President Clinton really held out all hope the funeral would be a nonpartisan event, like Nixon's was," a top Clinton source said on Tuesday morning. "He's angry and disappointed neither he nor President Carter have been asked to speak, as of yet."
The top source says Clinton has been critical that both Bush presidents will address the crowd gathered at National Cathedral.
Nixon's vice president Gerald Ford did not speak at Nixon's funeral.
Clinton's inner circle is convinced Nancy Reagan has personally shut out Clinton from any high-profile participation.
"It is a state funeral, using tax dollars," the top Clinton insider explained.
Former President George H.W. Bush, former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and former Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney will join President Bush in eulogizing Ronald Reagan, Reagan's office announced. Presiding over the service will be former Sen. John Danforth of Missouri, who is an ordained Episcopal priest. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor and the Rabbi Harold Kusher will give readings, while Irish tenor Ronan Tynan will sing.
The eulogy is being prepared by President Bush's chief speechwriter, Michael Gerson, who also wrote the president's moving speech for a memorial service in the same cathedral after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

Thank you.
Bill Clinton and his gang of LIEberal/Socialist/Marxist Toady Bastards really pi$$ me off.
Me! Me! Me! Whine! Whine! Whine!
If I never hear of/about/FRom that miserable excuse for a self-indulgent, self aggrandizing sonofabitch ever again, it will be too soon!
maybe the family doesn't want him to speak.
President Reagan was a very religious man,and a man
who held the office of the Presidency in the highest
respect.What President Clinton did while in that office
went against everything that President Reagan
stood for and hurt the country that he
loved so much.
Clinton has no class for trying to force Nancy Reagan to include him.
The freepers who agree or support the Clintoon in this latest red neck fiasco for the Clintoon, have less class and character than the Clintoon has.
Hey Bill! The party is OVER, pal.
Grab your loser buddy Jimmy and you two call O.J. to book a tee time during the funeral because NOBODY CARES WHAT YOU AND CARTER THINK!
Sorry, Slick. You don't get a parting shot at a greater President . Deal with it!
"It is a state funeral, using tax dollars," the top Clinton insider explained.
Perhaps Buba just wants to bill the taxpayer his standard speaking fee...We paid his lawyers, his travel expanses, we're paying for the most elaborate private offices of any previous president....why not gouge us for a little more?
Birds of a feather flock together.
Always remember that this a man without any inkling of what the burn of shame feels like!!
Tipper is in hiding. probably sucking her candy pacifier writing her memiors on life with a lunatic! Praise to God above this possesed man isnt in charge, we would be speaking arabic and bowing to mecca I swear.
bump to read more later
Clinton would have brought the focus to himself somehow. Wise decision not to have him speak.
One more point from the article:
"Nixon's vice president Gerald Ford did not speak at Nixon's funeral."
Well, we were trying to forget who he was...
I WAS IN A BOOK STORE TODAY, AND I COULDN'T HELP BUT NOTICE THE AMAZING CONTRAST IN THE BOOKS ON AND ABOUT CLINTON VS THE BOOKS ABOUT REAGAN. THE BOOKS ABOUT CLINTON WERE ALL ABOUT HIS LYING AND CHEATING AND ABSENCE OF DUTY AS PRESIDENT; WHILE THE BOOKS ABOUT REAGAN WERE ALL ABOUT DIGNITY AND HONOR.
I GUESS THAT ABOUT SAYS IT ALL.
Peggy Noonan plans to stand on line in Washington to pay respects to President Reagan. She offered to report to Hannity on radio of the goings on at her spot in the line. Might be the only way we find out how big a crowd actually comes. Have you read her books "What I Saw at the Revolution" and "When Character Was King"? The point I remember most was that the people who worked for Ronald Reagan LOVED him. That has come out this week with the various interviews with his staffers. Peggy's the greatest.
I was just reporting what the news was carrying that Jane Wyman was standing next to Michael Reagan.
Welcome back! Your posts have been well and truly missed.
Is't it wonderful that Freepers never forget:
"And this will continue to happen over and over again. When Bush 41 was inaugurated, Ronald Reagan hopped a plane and returned to his beloved California. Clinton hung around an airport hanger saying 'I'm still here!' Just couldn't go away. Still can't. "
What an eye opening contrast between these two presidents and these two marriages for the sheeple to see right before their eyes!!
