I could do without the whistles, but I think the applause is out of respect, appreciation and admiration.

I don't know. I think Sky News, sister to Fox News, in London is carrying it live but I don't know about any others.

If bubba gets this treatment, the bed of his caisson will be upholstered with Astroturf.

Well if the president's choose their own funeral, you know it will be the biggest and most elaborate ever and cost the taxpayers bazillions and no one will show up.

They were clapping for her in the beginning....when she got out of the car..........she is greatly loved.
To: clintonh8r; All
Dumb question, but does SGT. york have a bandage from recently being castrated?
What the H is going on???
To: RedBloodedAmerican
I would think they would stand silent, I doubt anyone clapped when JFK went by. People didn't clap on solemn occasions in the 60s; they do now, even in church. I don't care for it myself, but it doesn't mean any disrespect -- quite the opposite, I think.
