The funeral PLAN is made up by the REAGAN FAMILY - not the Bush family. The Reagan family chooses who will speak - not the Bush admin.
Besides, the Carters and Clintons have never, ever had a kind word for Reagan and I believe Nancy did not want them to be FAKING kind words at her husband's funeral.
Besides, bi-partisan to the democrats means "do it our way or else". They can take along walk off a short pier. If Clinton's unhappy .. I'm happy!
I just got to this thread and have not read thru it all, so maybe this has been said, but . . .
Why in the he** would Nancy want Clintoon to speak at her husband's funeral???? Nancy and Ronald had a loving, faithful, supportive marriage.
Nancy spent the last 10 years caring for her dear husband, who didn't even recognize her for at least part of that time.
We all know what Clintoon did in the WH, in the Oval Office, and who knows where else, with someone other than his wife, and lied about it. He and Hellary didn't even spend their 25th annive. together. Do you think either one of them would take care of the other if they had so much as a cold?
Pres. REagan stood for all the things Clinton made a mockery of. I can't believe he's such an a**. Wait a minute--yes, I can. And Kerry too. They make me sick.
