***Just, please, pray hard for his health. We can't have him croak off until after the 2008 election, else - if she's running - Shillery will get a sympathy vote and we'll all be stuck with her for 4 long, grueling years.***

Exactly.

That tan coat - it's not like Baker doesn't have the cash for a black overcoat and black or gray scarf, or doesn't know (ahem!) protocol for funerals, or that all the black overcoats were sold out. I don't get it.

James Baker is in a crowd of several hundred people, and he is THE ONLY one in a tan over coat!!!



I have to laugh....I said the same thing to hubby this morning while watching the ceremonies...you can't tell me that man does not have a black overcoat.

The coverage I watched didn't begin till the hearse came up to the cathedral, so I think I missed some of the "waiting for" video, and I did miss the physical distance and coolness between Lynne Cheney and the Carters.

The Carters were not known during the WH years and after for being as socially stable, shall we say, as the Bush family. They always seemed to me to be a very odd pair.

Nice Job!

Good choice!

When can we start a draft Lynne'08 movement? Surely, her husband would not object to being First Gentleman. He has had so many other positions in government.

At the end of Harball tonight they played Denise Graves singing "The Lord's Prayer"...which was absolutely breathtaking, IMHO...

BUT, the montage on pictures that they used included a couple of the Clintons...1 of them standing together at the casket in the rotunda...but NONE of Laura and Pres. Bush standing at the casket.

Just another example of MSNBC propaganda that the Clintons are the REAL leaders of America.

I know the montage sure ruined the playing of that song....ugh

At the end of Harball tonight

I think we should rename it Hairball.

[GretchenM]

Thanks, jaycee.
I'm glad I was able to watch the funeral on television before posting today. It helped get the true essence of these events.

Hi snugs, checking out the photos
The service was not the usual Requiem Mass for the Episcopal Church for the dead but a lower version of Rite One.

The Bishop of Washington D.C. who said the prayers before entering the Cathedral was prior to Biship was Dean of St. Pauls Episcopal Cathedral in San Diego.
The Priest Fr. Certain who gave the homily from St. Margarets is part of the San Diego Diocese.
Fr. Certain you could see is also military with the many rows of ribbons on his stole.

The Choir of the church and the boys choisters is like that at St. Pauls. They have toured England.
That is the music I am use to hearing on Sundays.

I found it!

The whole Clinton threesome knows damn well that by the time Willy's dead, his REAL legacy will be known, and that he won't receive such adulation....The Lewinsky red herring will be gone. You can see it; even their embarrassed daughter knows it.

Hellery is checking to see if she has a heart.....she came up empty
