LITHONIA, Ga. - Shivering in near-freezing temperatures, thousands of people waited hours in line Tuesday for one last chance to say goodbye to Coretta Scott King before her funeral.
"There's one word to describe going to go see Coretta — historic. It's good to finally see her at peace," said Robert Jackson, a 34-year-old financial consultant from Atlanta whose 10-year-old daughter, Ebony, persuaded him to take her to the visitation.
The lines had already started forming by 3 a.m. By the time the doors opened at 6:30 a.m., people toward the end were warned that if they stayed in line they likely wouldn't get into the funeral because of long lines that were already forming there.
An estimated 10,000 people, including four U.S. presidents, were expected to attend the midday funeral at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church, where King's daughter Bernice is a minister.
She must have been invited to speak.
I just noticed that too..
her delivery is flat........
LOL I just turned the tv on and all of a sudden I got sleepy.
This is absolutely awful. Bring back Bill or Jimmy.
She sounds like a 1st grader reading for the first time from a "See Dick Run" book. Good gosh she is awful.
Working hard NOT to be ANGRY...
She.....is......speaking.....soooo......slow.....and......deliberate..........as .....if ...to.....give.....more.....weight....to.....her....words................she just sped up, but.....caught.......herself...........
This just goes to prove what a fake she is; a fake and a fraud.
sw
Vintage Clinton. Says she was still a fine looking woman at 75. Let it hang in the air that he might be in the presence of a future president (Hillary). Said "Let's not forget there's a woman in there" (in the casket).

He's got a face for a funeral.
Here's Hilliary:
When (pause)She(pause)went(pause) to . . .
What a truly scripted, wooden, calculated person. She's WORSE than Al Gore.
She probably saw some babe's phone number scribbled on the palm of his hand.
President Bush has a rather stony look on his face. As a true Christian, he can spot an imposter miles away.
WE WILL have to pick up her burden...we'll have to split it up because it was a heavy burden"
HAAAAAAAaaaaaaaa...WHO wrote this for her? She sounds like she's talking to 2nd graders...unreal.
It is terrible. At least Willy isn't the cure for insomnia. This speech is awful.
She sounds like an idiot
And what's with the "send me"
