WASHINGTON Gerald R. Ford leaves his beloved U.S. Capitol for the last time Tuesday as the period set aside for ordinary Americans to say goodbye gives way to an elaborate invitation-only funeral at the awe-inspiring Washington National Cathedral.
As the first order of business Tuesday, Ford's remains were being removed from the Rotunda to lie in repose briefly outside the Senate before leaving the Capitol where Ford served as a congressman for 25 years. As vice president, Ford also had the constitutional title of president of the Senate.

LOL!
I declare, I have never seen two people with such sour looks on their faces almost all the time.
The carters do not look like they would be a pleasant couple to entertain...unlike the fun I just know W and Laura would be.

I know I've been watching too much 24 as of late, but there was a moment there where Attorney General Gonzolez was glancing out of the corner of his eye, at the Clinton's gaping at the ceiling......that was just precious.
It was a 24 type "look".

"Parking" shouldn't be a problem at Carter's funeral...:)

Don't... but I can't help it... I like Rudi.
To: James Ewell Brown Stuart
Well we could tell him we will hold our breath until he changes his mind, but I think he may just blow us off.

Gawd .... how Lynn Cheney must detest sitting next to the peanutbrain. I'm sure she's not thrilled at all. Mayor Rudy looks good. John Bolten too.

Oh, I am glad you are here. I am neglecting housekeeping this morning in order to watch this.
Because you were close to your father as well, like me you will find poignancy in the Ford children's obvious grief (unlike the Reagan son).

Earlier, when the clintons were huddled w/Carter and Hillary was animatedly speaking w/him, Bill abruptly got up and left w/Hillary following him. I found that quite interesting for some reason. ;^)
