Makes me think of the future ceremonies for living Presidents.
If Clinton died, would anyone come?
Kennedy, Leahy, Durbin and Daschle.
don't be fooled - when Clinton dies, there will be similar large ceremonies like this. he cannot be denied, he was President for two terms. and people will come to pay their respects, it won't be any of us, but there is a whole other America out there.
I have to slap myself so I don't type in the response that came to mind. :oX
Just about everyone on FR would come!

Let's see:
1. George H.W. Bush's may be pretty big particularly if his son is still in office. President Bush service in WWII and has a son who is President. He is not young.
2. You know that the Clintons and the Carters are at this very moment planning on how to top this. They will be interesting to watch.
3. I think Ford's will be very low key ala Nixon.
4. I would hope G.W. Bush's is many many many years away and is Clinton's too. And I think we should hope that about Clinton too regardless of our views of him.
BTW:
1. G.W. Bush was born in 1946.
2. G.H.W Bush was born in 1924.
3. James E. Carter was born in 1924.
4. Gerald Ford was born in 1913.
5. William J. B. Clinton was born in 1946.
Also after this week the nation may demand that we have an pretty big ceremony for Mrs. Reagan?
