I think "traitors" is a better definition of the Clintons. As far as Algore goes, let's just say he invented the statement "out to lunch" and he's never coming back. :-)
Too bad Bubba!
Bill Clinton still thinks it is all about Bill Clinton.
Just caught a view of the live shot on C-span of the mourners filing by...Does anyone know if the same flag stays with the coffin for the entire week? Is that the one presented to Mrs. Reagan? Or do they change them, to have several as momentos?
These people are an embarrassment to themselves, and to America! I'm glad they were excluded.
Goodness, they are going to try to pain this like the Wellstone Memorial Campaign Rally.
Great pic -- perfect if you ask me!

Ed. Note: Sorry, Willie. You do not measure up. There will be no speaking role for you. It's bedtime for Bubba.
I don't expect either side to be giving any ovations at a funeral at the nation cathedral.
Fair enough, we all dislike Clinton - maybe they could ask Carter to do one of the scripture readings.
Basically what I am saying is that we know the media is looking for an issue here - they are tormented from having to provide all this coverage of the Reagan events. Do we want to give them an issue, would having Carter do a reading at the cathedral be so bad?
Clinton and Gore had 8 years in the White House to say something about Reagan -- I can't remember them saying anything nice!
I think we all know how Clinton and the Dem's felt about Reagan when they made that awful CBS movie. They have already given their speech about Reagan.
Oh, but you forget, after all, it's all about him.
LOL, me too!
Would you want people that castigated you speaking at your funeral? And you know what? Screw the media. These are the decisions of Nancy Reagan.
Just saw on FOX -- Kerry's supposed to be there at 2:15 PDT. What an opportunist. Even his advisors must want Kerry to lose -- we all know why Kerry is doing this!
.
BUSH2 is fighting an Axis of Evil and is winning.
REAGAN1 fought an Evil Empire and won.
BUSH2 =
REAGAN1
.......for the GOOD.
.
Any word if Kerry is going to cut into the line?
That SOB is going to take time away from many, many people who will lose their opportunity.
Get over yourself. Carter would not be asked to do anything for a man he despised. You are starting to sound like Al Franken's SNL character here--paraphrasing in a whiney voice, "Would it be so wronggg..."?
I came close to posting about some of the ugliness over there, but nope, not gonna go there.
Let them mourn, not the passing of a great man, as many do. Sadly, though they do not seem to know it, they mourn for the emptiness within their own souls.
