Some are also missing this as to why Clinton spoke at Nixon's funeral. In the first few months of the Clinton administration, North Korea was doing allot of saber rattling. Diplomatic action was urgently needed. Carter thought he would chosen as our "ambassador for peace", but Clinton picked Nixon to deal with NK. Carter was PO'd. Nixon went to NK and started talks, at Clinton's request. The details were hammered out in later visits by others as Nixon was ill and died meaning he didn't cause the failure that we are currently facing in regard to NK. Nixon just opened the door.

The point is that Nixon and Clinton has more than just a casual ex/current Presidential relationship. Clinton has no connection to President Reagan.

Very interesting... I did not know that. I do recall that Hillary Clinton scheduled one of her "coming clean" press interviews while the media's attention was focused on President Nixon (who was dying at the time... media was on watch). Kept the heat off her. But your post just illustrates still more that there were reasons for Clinton to speak at Pres. Nixon's funeral. What earthly reason could there be for Clinton to speak at President Reagan's funeral? Hmmm... now I am wondering... who spoke at President Kennedy's funeral? Gotta look that one up....
