INTERMENT SERVICE

June 11, 2004

6:00 p.m. (9 p.m. Eastern)

Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, Simi Valley, California

[lainie]

He just arrived at the library. You haven't missed a thing.

[VOA]

They had some pointy-headed academic going on about how the backdrop of the Library was,
like everything else Reagan-related, carefully staged for maximum effect.

A nice constast to Carter and Clinton...who always seemed to carefully stage
for the lowest economic or moral effect, respectively!

[clarissaexplainsitall]

Who are the two young people? Grandchildren? And Michael's or Maureen's?

[vikingchick]

Thanks for the warning. I'll stay on Fox News!

[Darlin']

Did you hear Chris Wallace say, that President Reagan loved Hail To The Chief and every time he heard it played, he would say to Mrs Reagan, "Honey, they're playing our song". They are about to play if for him now for the last time. I'm sure that will be painful for Mrs Reagan.

"What have I missed, is it over?"

Just take a few minutes to read back and catch up. HA!

[DoughtyOne]

All it takes is one good man. Reagan proved that.

[July 4th]

Arnie and Thatcher. What a great shot!

[prairiebreeze]

I don't have a problem with the dress. California-wear, it seems to me.

Thank you so much for giving me his name. I would LOVE to have recordings of his voice. Know of any?

"oozing Mental Super-Glue"

Me too. Growing weak, need food. Must hold on. Reminds me of Iraq war vigils we had on here.

[Inspectorette]

Yes, for all of our loved ones who have gone before us.

President Reagan reminded me of my Dad - big smile, powerfully built, joke-teller, and a loving man - but without the warts and the sometime grumpiness. He was the "ideal" Dad.

[WarEagle]

The guy could barely contain his sneer.

The cynics cannot believe that Reagan was genuine and sincere. Since they are liars, thieves, and whores, they think everyone is like them. Can you imagine one of them saying and believing the words on the monument at the Reagan Library?

I know in my heart that man is good
That what is right will always eventually triumph
And there is purpose and worth to each and every life

It's awful to be so cynical and jaded that you cannot recognize either good or evil. Reagan recognized both - that was one of his unique gift to us.

[texasflower]

Ex-dem for how long?

[wardaddy]

I have not seen my dear wife cry this much as the past few days since I almost bought the farm.

God Bless Ronnie, there is no doubt whatsoever he was quite beloved.

(Michael's tears this morning was hard for me to watch too)

*special note for The Iron Lady....Godspeed her as well.

[txradioguy]

I've been waiting all week to hear Michael speak.

[Rainmist]

Michael is breaking my heart ...

[don-o]

Nice shot of Margaret. Anyone seen her at the libary?

[NonValueAdded]

They had some pointy-headed academic going on about how the backdrop of the Library was, like everything else Reagan-related, carefully staged for maximum effect.

I wonder how he would explain that cantilevered double-wide trailer thing over that Arkansas river?

[lainie]

I think his kids will be well-composed but I wouldn't be sure Michael doesn't break down.
