LIVE THREAD--Reagan State Funeral Ceremony: Lying in State at the Rotunda (6/11/04)
hillary! sitting there with her usual sour face.
Fox just showed the Beast and her husband. All I could say to the TV was "ewww."
I've got it on CNN and unfortunately, I just had to listen to Christiane Amanpour gush over Gorbachev. "Reagan couldn't have done it alone..." blah blah blah.
Talk about inappropriate, at this man's funeral.
by the way, the Canadian prime minister couldn't stay one extra day for this funeral. Some people up here are mad about it; others are glad he's not "sucking up to the Americans."
Hymn starting... can't make it out.. anyone know this one?
ARGHHHH My neighbor across street who I weeped with on 911 is cleaning his roof. I have never seen him do this before.
ARGHHH
Wow - I wonder if the peanut farmer heard Sec. Powell give credit to President Reagan for rebuilding the military and its morale. (Implication obvious)
Well, they've been with Mrs Reagan every step of the way. There isn't much of a role for them during the official ceremonies but they and their spouses are all right there. Even the late Maureen Reagan's husband is there with the family.
I saw the unmbrella... you're right...the symbol of a small tear as Ronald Reagan leaves the city for the last time. Mrs. Reagan has stood up well this past week. God bless her.
If I remember correctly, MG Jackman is the Commander of the US Military District in Washington, DC....that makes him the Senior Military Commander so that is why he was chosen as the Escort officer.
And he is doing quite a fine job.
You can see him being very gentle and easy with Nancy and she seems to be very trusting of him.
And it began to ran, just as the casket reached the bottom of the stairs. Amazing.
Fox just glanced over to him and hill and quickly moved off of them. Thank you Fox News...
I'm in Central New York State. It's overcast here, but it's usually that way.
Ahhh. My eyes! My Eyes!!!
I can't wait till Dutch gets home here in California. The weather is perfect
Which is it?
I just looked at him before responding, "He DID something with HIS life."
Please tell me you are joking!
Somebody duct tape that man's mouth shut. For the good of the nation.
Back I go to Fox in time to see the motorcade and hear a bell toll.
Brit tells us that is the Cathedral bell that will toll on the minute during this procession.
President Bush has just arrived at the Cathedral.
Your office allows that? How rude!
