Is this on CSPAN?

I just checked and they are doing a split screen between video of the motorcade procession and the House.

That made me surf around and all three networks are on it, too.

I can't help but think how alone Nancy must have felt these last ten years and hopefully seeing the outpouring of love and respect for her Ronnie will comfort her.

_____Tate, Nancy's secretary, said last night that the White House china was donated, that it didn't cost the taxpayers a dime.

For those who don't know it, President Bush has sent Air Force One to bring the Reagan family and the body to the capital.

Nancy looks a little better today - but my heart still goes out to her. Hey Ron, how about holding your sister's hand for god's sake ???

[lainie]

Pt. Mugu you mean?

Earlier they said they'll play Ruffles and Flourishes, Hail to the Chief and Amazing Grace.

Just finishing up a few last things here. My buddy who lives north of here said the local police had a lot of speed traps set out in Green & Madison counties on Rte. 29 heading into Charlottesville this morning............Revenue Enhancements {LOL}.

TomGuy,

I'm stuck in a cubicle, I'll take even a fuzzy photo to see what's going on. Thank you for your work on both live threads.

I thought the same thing. Ron looks good but he's so distant from sis & mom.

Now Chris Matthews saying he had dinner with Nancy about 6 months ago. He thinks she'll be OK and she's a basically happy woman and has a great sense of humor. He just said again she loves life and is "one heck of a woman", and he considers her "a pal" despite differences of party from "the old days".

He says we're all saying how frail she is, and she probably is right now, but he says she has a strong core.

[Quilla]

Thank you from the bottom of my cubicle encased heart.

[RightWingMama]

You do a wonderful service to those of us in cubicleland.

Amazing Grace gets me more than America the Beautiful -- don't see how Nancy Reagan does this.

Now we have the famous photos from the air tracking the progress of the motocade. No one does it better than LA! :) But then no one probably has more experience.

Oh and did you know? Chris Mathews thinks Nancy might look frail, but she will bounce back, probably be on his show someday, talking about the good old days, and did you know? He considers her a pal.
