Once Reagan was preparing to make a speech in a small foreign country in S. America. His speech writer at the time came upon some information in which the puffed up dictator of the small country (I didn't catch which one) was going to spend his time debasing President Reagan. The speech writer merely laughed and told Reagan that when he (the writer)was done, they'd cut the little puffed up dictator off at the knees. Reagan responded, "that's exactly the opposite of what we should do." He went on to ask the writer to spend his time creating a speech that was full of compliments directed at the dictator. Thus the dictator could never deliver his abuse at the expense of Reagan. This just came to mind after reading this thread. I don't believe Clinton nor Carter have any right, moral or ethical, to speak at this funeral. I do think they have the right to rant and rave about it. It's political suicide every time they, or one of their "advisors" open their mouth right now.
I agree!
