LIVE THREAD--Reagan State Funeral Ceremony: Lying in State at the Rotunda (6/11/04)

[GRRRRR]

OMG...Vice Pres and Mr.s Cheney have to sit next to HillyBilly...!!! Lyn is going to have some stories to tell I'm sure...

Beautiful Baritone rendition of "Ave Maria"....

Brit quoting Scripture and saying he went to the Cathedral's school. Then said the tenor is starting and he will "pipe doewn". Yes, he had to know what we were saying the other day! Great Job, and thankful to Fox for today's great coverage. To hear Scripture out of a newsman's mouth is unheard of.

[Mo1]

Poor Lynn Cheney- having to sit next to that creep.

Perfect place for her to sit

If anyone can take on the Clinton's and smack them up side the head if need be ... Lynn Cheney could do it

[commish]

The clintons really are sitting in the row in front of all the previous presidents. By themselves. Is there some kind of meaning to this?

Yes, notice the Presidents are sitting in order of term, Ford, Carter, Bush I, I would imagine the seats next to Clinton are for George and Laura.

[Peach]

The Reagans have hated the Clintons for many reasons and most recently because during Clinton's last year he did not use his power to stop Hinckley from being allowed unsupervised weekends out of the hospital.

Rumsfield?

Is Barbara commiting a breach of protocol by not wearing black? It looks tacky.

She's wearing black underneath what looks to be some sort of rain coat or jacket.

[ambrose]

Seating is determined by the protocol office..

[Dolphy]

He looks pretty damn good to me

Yes, he does. I know he isn't a popular President here but he is from my hometown and as a kid, to have the President of the United States from your hometown, is quite special. I will always think kindly of him.

[carton253]

Of course they are...it's protocol...

[Right_in_Virginia]

I guess they are seated in order of presidency.

But, the position of the Clintons' puts them out of the direct camera shot. God really does work in mysterious ways.

[mass55th]

Great picture of the Clintons sitting all by themselves. Brought a smile on what otherwise is a very sad day. Thank you.

[Terriergal]

Ya know - I had never thought of that illustration. But it's very appropriate, considering...

[Toidylop]

Poor Lynn Cheney- having to sit next to that creep.

just hope Lynn Cheney kept her purse close...

Through my tears I have learned again why I want to become a citizen so badly. This is the reason. To see the country mourn a long ago hero, come together in grief while caring for the rest of world.

The kindness never stops.

God rest your soul Mr. President, I will try to live up to your ideal of a good citizen. imintrouble.

"Wheres Jimmy?"

OMG. You don't suppose that little man is so tacky that he might not show up. Naaaaw, not even he would be that spiteful, he'd want the face time.

[Not A Snowbird]

Hopefully she is grounded. In case the judgement lightning cracks down.

No worries... the Almighty has exquisite aim. He can fry both clintons and not scorch a hair on Lynne's head.

[Spirited]

Thank you for your post on Raisa. Appreciate.

[Romish_Papist]

Amen and amen.
