speaking of looks, Maxine waters looks like she needs and exlax.

I wonder who did NOT show up and who showed up because they feel forced due to public pressure.

I love Brit but he wish he'd hush.

The part about the East vs. West side of the Capitol was interesting. I guess if I wanted him to be quiet, I'd watch C-Span.

Then you missed Pelosi and Boxer lean forward over the rope and then look at each other and throw each other a kiss. I kid you not.

And I hope CALIFORNIA voters saw them do that, too. Get them riled up and carry over to botching up Boxer's reelection chances.

That must be by choice....there is no way Nancy Reagan would do that in public.

Maybe he's with his mother?

They weren't doing anything we could really see so Brit had reason to be talking.

But now it's time tfor him to hush.

Found this Reagan quote on a website

When you see all that rhetorical smoke billowing up from the Democrats, well ladies and gentleman, I'd follow the example of their nominee; don't inhale.

Republican National Convention, 1992.

Yes, she stepped out just as the casket reached the same level as she, then she stepped out, placed her hand on a star and stepped back. I was a sobbing mess.

Peter Jennings chastising Senator Frist for going to SD to campaign against Senator Daschle. Jennings is a dirtbag.

(insert images of wellstone funeral here for contrast)

Ughhh! I can still remember the shouting, the anger and hostility (booing Trent Lott etc).

Contrast that to this service which is dignified and respectful.
