I wish Pres. Bush (43) hadn't attended this funeral. It was so unfair for him to be targeted that way, and there was nothing he could do but just sit there and listen.

What happened?? I've just got home and I see 800+posts! Can you tell me or direct me to the posts that say WHAT happened?

Rose, it started when a Preacher got up and told the congregation that they all know there were no "weapons of mass destruction". The Audience gave him a Standing ovation and it went down hill after that..

Quick recap:

Nice remarks from GWBush.
Amusing and nice remarks from GHWBush.
"It's all about me" speech from Jimmy Carter.
Tag team of Bill and Hillary which laid the foundation for "their" next campaign.
A rambling address from Rev. Lowery of the SCLC that pinged Bush on WMDs and other things he apparently disagreed with.

Bush did fine with it all.

As for what Mrs. King did, well, aside from building the King Center, as I understand, a whole lot of humanitarian work worldwide. I can't say I've done as much.

Like I said...I'm late to the party.......but if that is all you know....you should never have started this thread....I'm assuming you have been skewered....

"This has been given a great deal of air time, like the Sonny Bono service! But no ex presidents showed up at his."

FYI Gerald Ford went to Sonny Bono's funeral.

Also from Carter...2 ugly insults of Pres. Bush and a snub of him as he left, apparently.

Well, I have to head out. The minister said at the beginning that he wanted to complete the funeral "before Jesus returns", and I'd say the betting is about even on that right now.

WOW! BOY O BOY!! I pray and earnestly pray and hope the majority of folk in America are watching this circus by the RATS. May Mrs. King rest in peace and the rest of the evil rat pieholes can go straight to hell. THEY KNOW NO LIMITS! This is a WELLSTONE redux in the making!

Can Michael Bolton sing any song without giving himself a hernia?

Bob Slydell: I admit it, I'm a Michael Bolton fan! I celebrate the guy's entire collection!

From what everyone has said, he wouldn't acknowledge him or shake his hand? Just walked by with his usual self-important I-am-the-Nobel-Peace-Prize-winner arrogance!

Yesn [sic], I can explaian [sic]. I'm not going to, though. The fact that President Bush and former Presidents are going to attend is explanation enough. They seem to think this funeral is worth their attendance. You don't, so I think you should not attend.

Oh puhleese...if this wasn't all over the MSM...no one would give a crap...the MSM is STILL deciding what happens in this country...
