I think WJC would give RR at least as respectful an oration as he gave RMN. He emulated Pres. Reagan in certain ways. However, Barbara Walters on ABC on Sat. made it clear that Mrs. Reagan would have Pres. Bush speak, and maybe Pres. Ford, but that certain former Presidents would not be speaking. That made clear, Clinton's "anger" that neither he nor President Carter had been asked to speak "as of yet" shows his complete lack of regard for the bereaved widow, and his belief that he can still shame her into changing her mind. I doubt that either the Clintons or Carters can count themselves among Nancy's 3,000 closest friends. Yet she was gracious enough to invite them anyway. More class on her part than either of them deserved.
I don't think the American people should have to deal with the hypocrisy dripping from Clinton if he were allowed to speak. I don't care what he said -- it's not about WJC.
