The lady in front of him doesn't look very excited about F'ing being there either. The guy is probably thinking on the lines of:
Kerry, you slimeball. You aren't fit to wash dog$#!+ off that man's shoes.
Kerry is such a PILE OF #@*%!!!!
He is so crass. Low-rent. No matter what they do, Reagan belongs to US. We who have always loved him.
HOLY SH*T!!! THEY LET HIM OVER THE ROPES?? WHAAAAAT??? Oh my God!!! Can you believe how BLATANT this moron is?? LOOK at that!! I can`t can`t believe this guy!!
What a classless act by this doofus
On top of everything else, Kerry was INSIDE of the roping when he performed for the camera. Physical intrusion or space around the casket. I'm surprised he didn't pose w/his hand on the casket.
Look at the people staring at him!!! Holy smoke!! Even the little kid, you know he`s probably saying "Mommy, why is that man over the ropes?" "Because he`s a doofus Billy, a shameless opportunist"
I shouldn't, but I'm going to bump anyway. Our President Reagan would have been gracious, and understanding, but deep down he would recognize this classless stunt for exactly what it was.
And to think, he was doing this for 20 minutes, standing there like a waxwork dummy from a horror show. MAAAN I can`t believe this!
Reagan would have come up with some great off-hand joke about it and gone on about his business. The joke would be something that Kerry, if he could laugh at himself, would be able to take in stride. But since he CAN'T, he would have been outraged, along with his comsymp buddies on the left.
I thought the same as you concerning Teresa. Afterall, she was married to a Republican senator for a very long time and thus Reagan was also part of her life. I'd prefer to think she was being sensible and considerate of Mrs. Reagan and not wanting to look in any way like she was grandstanding for her husband.

This is one of those "a picture is worth a thousand words" moments. It screams that Kerry is a classless act.
Hey, I'm surprised he didn't put his cheek on the casket for his cameraman. Nothing is beyond this publicity hound with two tin ears for what civilized people think of his actions.
Believe me, I am in no way defending this traitor, but I saw televised pictures of all sorts of folks passing by the casket yesterday. Did the family authorize the television cameras?
I can only hope that the MARINE & SAILOR are thinking; "One foot one that blue carpet and I get to crack him with my rifle."
Nancy Reagan specifically authorized a C-SPAN camera and requested no others be allowed.
