Matthews has already "warned" that surely Cheney will make it political.
Listen to this applause for our great president!
Agree 100%... this should be a celebration of his life, not a somber funeral...
Maybe its just me,
but I think the applause and whistles are out of place.
NBC talking about the day the secret service had to tell him he couldn't ride his horses anymore....continuing on with his later years. Secret service agent...more tears.
Exactly....the way they showed it, loses the effect of the missing man..
This grown man cried watching the lone plane separating and departing.
Jinxie - do you know -- why was the band in red? Which branch of service were they from?
HEY.....I said it first!!!!!
which is why the media is STILL mystified.
(I only wish they Repose phase could have included some other parts of the USA but it is understandable to keep it to a minimum.)
Left hand, not even over his heart!
Are the people on the route who are clapping doing so out of respect, or clapping because they are happy he is dead, or both?I would think they would stand silent, I doubt anyone clapped when JFK went by.
Not just you.
DNC disruptors instigating perhaps??
Prairie
That's what we the people have elections for.
This is a moment of triumph, really.
However, the onlookers have no way to express their appresiation to Nancy BUT applause.
So, I think it's OK.
Beautiful recounts from secret service agent now on NBC
You know what......I love these microphones.......I feel like I"m there...........listen to those horses!
That's the Marine Corps band, and their dress uniform is red and white.
We ought to do a thread on them later, you know?
that lone man formation gives me chills everytime- that one plane shooting straight towards heaven.
It is so hot there and look how the Mraines are keeping perfect formation and step- that is so great.
