Kerry may view Reagan casket in Calif.

Kerry will probably show in his jogging suit.....

[Centurion2000]

And yes, he may not have to wait in line. Rightfully or wrongfully, a US Senator, does have time constraints that are more compelling than most. Were the lefty-righty thing reversed, I would expect the same.

One rule for thee and not for me ? Is that how you see it?

Sorry, but even senators are just ordinary people; one rule for all.

I agree. I've no problem with him going as long as he stands in line and does not get special treatment. And if his daughter goes also, she should not expose her sagging breasts. One channel showed what appeared to be street people or those who preferred to dress in Salvation Army surplus at the Reagan library. I would have expected more respect for a president who always acted and dressed properly in the Oval Office.

Kerry in Reagan Country

[Saundra Duffy]

Well, he certainly has the face for mourning....

THAT was funny!!!

[MinuteGal]

If Kerry pulls this obvious stunt, I hope he gets roundly booed plus plenty of Italian salutes as his cavalcade whizzes to the library neighborhood from his hotel or the airport.

I could really think of some great street corner signs to flash at him if I had the opportunity of seeing his bassett hound face peering out of a limo.

I wonder how many mourners in line will mistake Kerry for the undertaker if he shows up?

Kerry doesn't belong in that line, or any other Washington pol. This viewing is for people like you and me. Politicians have their own time when Ronaldus Magnus is in DC at the Rotunda.

sKerry is looking for more (long) face-time on the tube. And the Dems warned US against 'politicizing' President Reagan's passing?! What in God's Name are they doing!!!!?

kerry ... keep your F'n valor stealing America hating traitorous ass away from this great man. You're not welcome there

SCUMBAG CYNICAL OPPORTUNIST ALERT!!

"This officer's career record shows him to be an insubordinate, unprincipled, career minded OPPORTUNIST, with a history of violating the chain of command whenever it suited him!"

[clintonh8r]

Sorry, you are easily impressed.

[1Old Pro]

You want him to wait in line...I don't.

I hear the lines are now lasting 11 hours. Tes, I'd like to see him stand in line.

freep this poll (today only; subject to change): Do you think Ronald Reagan was the greatest president of the 20th century?

[Paul8148]

Is there any truth to the rumor that Kerry and Regan daughter dated?

[MinuteGal]

Oh, yuk.

If the rumor is true, I'll bet it was Patty, not Maureen.

[Paul8148]

Yeah the rumor I heard was Patty Davis.

[octobersky]

LOL, too funny!

[mewzilla]

Per FNC: Kerry to visit around 2:15 (I'm assuming that's local time).

If the area isn't sanitized for his protection, hope someone has the nads to ask Jean what the heck he's doing there in light of the things he's said about the former president.

"I was for paying my respects before I was against it."
OR
"I was against cutting in line before I was for it."
BLECCH!

[plain talk]

If Kerry shows up he won't have to wait in the common line. They will not make him wait in line for security reasons.

[commish]

As much as it galls me, you are correct, Kerry is a VIP visitor and should get the same VIP treatment as our own FREEPERS recieved last night.

I am curious to see though if he does as all the other VIPS and pays his respects with the crowds, just as Arnold did etc. -- or if he makes them STOP the Line so he can go in alone. THAT will be very telling.
