Blah, you just hexed me! I had to go tell some Bible thumpers to go away and why were they out bothering people while the funeral was in process. They still wanted to come in - how rude.

[lainie]

We will celebrate you on the day your dream comes true. :)

My sister wore all white to her 8 year old daughter's funeral.

It was like, I dunno, spitting in the face of Death.

Was very classy.

Irish tenor Ronan Tynan, this is absolutely wonderful...

I agree!

[xp38]

Beautiful like she is.

President and Mrs. Bush arriving. Laura gave Tony Blair a little squeeze on the shoulder without breaking stride. cartbilly sitting there giving weasel eyes to the Bushes.

Roslyn staring straight ahead, looking rather bitter.

LBJ died within weeks of attending Harry Truman's funeral.

[small voice in the wilderness]

Has anyone seen Rumsfeld?

Interesting. Let's make the libs. REALLY paranoid today! It's 11:00 libs, do you know where Rummy is???

[conservative in nyc]

Ronan Tynan. No applause at the end. Very dignified.

I agree with you about Prince Charles. Sad what happened to Diana.

Wonder why Tony Blair is seated so far back? I wish he were up there with Gorby, Thatcher, Mulroney and Charles.

I'm sure that I'm not the only to note this... but I haven't heard it expressed..... but I think this funeral contrasted against the way the arab world has their "in the street funeral processions" really, really, demonstrates the significant differences in our cultures.

It was quick, but it looked like the Clintons were snubbed by the Cheneys as well. Sort of like the Clintons reached out and the Cheneys looked to the row behind them.

How petty I feel noticing this at such a distinguished event.

[WestCoastGal]

I hope so. I can just imagine the security in place for this.

[angcat]

Cheney needs the red bow or a horn around his neck, she is giving him the evil eye (malok).

Let not your Heart be troubled... God is in Control!

Most notably that i42 hired Hinckley's defense attorney during impeachment.

I'd COMPLETELY forgotten that.

Interesting the nets don't bring up that little tidbit when they complain that Clinton wasn't invited to speak. Sheesh.
