I am glad I am not that only one that missed it. I hope someone explains :-)

[VOA]

Patti Davis is a gem.

The burial ceremony for the pet fish and the theology lesson were very nice.

And darned if Ron Reagan didn't do a good job.
Maybe watching the last years of his father made him mellow and mature a bit.

[Cinnamon Girl]

Just for the record, I didn't off my fighting fish. He lived a long life for a fish and just kind of winded down this morning.

"Or has he had a change of heart?"

I think he just answered your question.

Conservatism and Ron Jr. are not in the same room!

Rev. Danforth reads the 23rd Psalm

[BibChr]

"He didn't, like some others, wear his religion on his sleeve."

"After the assassination, he believed he had a Divine purpose — not a mandate. There is a big difference."

(Paraphrase from memory.)

>>"He" = Ron Jr.

He's not a Junior.

[SaveTheChief]

And he was doing very well too.

[texasflower]

Michael had me sobbing.

[vikingchick]

I heard he was a pretty good ballerina..ha ha! I wonder if he regrets that episode now?

[nwrep]

There was nothing wrong with what he said. It was a heartfelt tribute.

[alnick]

here comes Patti - if there is anyone who could be a troublemaker, its her.

It turned out to be Ron, Jr., who got his inappropriate snide and very political anti-GWB statment worked into his tribute to his dad.

[don-o]

didn't take it as a slap to W. Give the guy a break. It is what it is, what it is...

Me neither. But, some folks are looking at anything to jump ugly on.

[hobson]

I think it was very much a slap...intentional as they come.

[txradioguy]

Excuse me I must stand up for a moment...

[F16Fighter]

Definitely took a HUGE shot at Dubya!

[CWW]

Check out that beautiful sunset -- I think the planes are on their way! Flyover time. Wow, the National Anthem!

[BlessedBeGod]

I was thinking it was a swipe at BillyJeff, walking out of the church with that big old Bible in hand.

My reaction, too.

[Diddle E. Squat]

Am I the only one wondering if that 'thumbs up' story is legit, or embellished in the last day or two?

[SoCalPol]

He blew it .. why did he do that?
Because is supports Nader
