Darn .. working and missed Rummy's speech, which I badly want to hear. If you know when it'll be replayed or IF it will,
please let me know.

What was your overall impression? He looked so grieved
in DC at Ford's casket.

I missed it all too. I'm devastated that I missed it. I hope somebody replays it.

It was a very good speech...(I am partial to Rummy's speeches, so I am a bit prejudiced)...

He sniffed a lot...and I don't know if it was from a cold, or if it was from emotion.

I am sure that it will be replayed tonight on C-span...but, I will watch out for it..and ping you.

Carter spoke after him...and Carter sounded like he was giving his own resume, with a few anecdotal stories about Pres. Ford thrown in....but the only time I gritted my teeth was when Carter said that he and Pres. Ford discussed religion and that they BOTH felt that sexual preferences and women's rights should not be a divisive issue...

That may or may not be true...but I didn't feel it was necessary in a eulogy..

It reminded me of Ron Reagan bringing up federal funding of embryonic stem cell research during the eulogy for his Dad.
