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.
Evdiently VERY hard.
Hey, the two women behind Hillary just woke up. Bill was biting his lip, and Bush was kind of smirking.
OMG. What a poser! Drama Queen. For a brief moment I understand Bill's infidelilty.
This is the worst speech I have ever heard, well maybe a Al Gore speech might be close.
I can't imagine her president.
Since when was Hillary so religious????
Hillary up. "We can carry on..."
And you know what I mean.
Kinda flat if you ask me. Even her tone of voice sounds blah. Like the supermarket loudspeaker voice calling the manager over to approve an out-of-state check.
Darn it, PD, I just spewed mocha all over my desk.
My cat just hissed and her hair is standing straight up...guess Hillary has that effect on everybody.

".we'll have to split it up because it was a heavy burden" "
That was "Heah...vee....bur...den."
Turn on MSNBC...at least Chrissy is telling the TRUTH !!! OMG ! UNBELIEVABLE....THE TRUTH of what they have turned this into. Turn it on !
I didn't think anyone could be worse then Al Gore, but I agree with you.
Her flat Chicaaaaaga accent really comes out when she does public speaking.
What did he say????
Teddy looks ready for Walter B. Cook.
If she wins the nomination she'll have to lip-synch her acceptance speech.
