To: Darth Reagan
No, he was the sitting President at Nixon's funeral. He is not a sitting President right now. As such, he does not deserve a spot. Now the man has to stand based on his record, and not his position. By that standard, he does not measure up.

*shrug* Let him get mad. Who cares. He's the one committing political suicide if he presses it.

Thank God. We all remember the LAST funeral Billy attended...Decorum just isn't his strong suit.

Will Nancy or George blink???? Please respect the wishes of others, BJ and Mr. Lust.

GHWB was the man's VP for 8 years. That's no small thing. Also, he'd known Reagan since his time as RNC Chair.

Uh Bill? Doesn't the family get to decide who speaks at the funeral? If this turns into a big stupid media liberal a$$ sucking scandal, I hope Nancy Reagan buys a commercial and reminds America of this.

BTW .. didn't they Boo Trent Lott for going?
They booed every Republican that showed. They also un-invited Bice President Cheney at the last moment.

To: CasearianDaoist
I would agree with that - since he was RRs VP.
But we have to see the full list of speakers.
Look, I don't like Clinton. But if the choice is between being seen as politicizing Reagan's service, or letting Clinton speak - let him speak, he isn't going to do us much harm giving a speech. Its better then having the media go on a 2 week tirade against Bush, turning this event into our own Wellstone funeral.
To: GoLightly
Once again, Clinton is trying to change tradition, not follow it. BINGO

"Ah I was always fond of President Reagan, which I say in my new book, 'Mah Life', which is for sale at the card table at the back of the cathedral..." Back of the cathedral? Clinton would set up one of those cardboard display racks on top of the casket if somebody didn't physically block him.

Spent some time reading the posts on DU. Strange group of people. Many wishing it was Bush's funeral. One common thought among them was that since the state funeral is tax supported it's unfair that Clinton can't speak.
I think I'll go back to DU and ask their support for all the things my tax dollars pay for that I can't enjoy, like Pell Grants for my daughter, affirmative action for her college application, Social Security benefits for the newly and often illegally arrived. I wonder if I'll get a fair hearing.?

I read an interview in the BBC with Gorbachev... I would think it would be fitting for him to offer a eulogy. He was moved deeply when he heard of Reagan's passing. The first reaction I read about him had him unable to speak words clearly, it hit him hard. But I agree that if it is only to be two, President Bush and Prime Minister Thatcher are the only choices.

He thinks that if he shows class here, he will be treated well when he passes on (probably from syphillis).

Thank you for posting the list of Nixon speakers.
I always liked Nixon .... he was trashed and set up by the left all the time ... believe he was the first case of "slash and burn politics"

"I don't think that I can take one more biting of the lip, and the sorrowful crocodile tears for the camera, ala Ron Brown!"
People made excuses for Clinton that day and will do it again.
I am so SICK of these people who are using the death of the true "father of our country" for their own SELFISH AGEND!

Clinton's inner circle is convinced Nancy Reagan has personally shut out Clinton from any high-profile participation. If true, good for Nancy.
"It is a state funeral, using tax dollars," the top Clinton insider explained.
So what? As a taxpayer, can I demand to speak, too? Clinton insider...what's that mean? Sycophant?
