I remember RFK's funeral after he was shot in LA -- they took his body across country by train and it took two days. My relatives who were solid Republicans said at the time it was too much coverage and it was on all the networks....mourners throwing themselves on the train as it made various stops. So the Democrats today shouldn't say this funeral cortege is any big deal. They made a big deal out of RFK and JFK's funerals.

They fly in formation and at the minute they were over the caisson the one lone F-15 pulled out of formation and went skyward to sympolize the missing man formation in honor of President Reagan.

Rush said that all Presidents except for Clinton have plans on file for their funerals. He said how hard can it be to get a couple of chicks and a kegger.
