Thanks for posting the picture of Levin...I was starting to think I imagined it!
How wonderfully apropos. :-)
Can someone tell me where to find the TS Eliot quote about the wheel turning?????? (Please)
Ya know, all those cries of 'Wellstone Funeral' ring about as hollow and ludicrous as the 'Nazi' labels.
I'm sure once the cameras are off her, it'll be a different story. I suspect that she's the type that does not need to air her emotions in front of everyone.
"Just wondering, anybody looked to see what going on over at DU?"
They're apoplectic over all of this - I'm loving it. Their comments give me much to laugh at.
I totally agree.
OK- I don't understand the whole wreath thing.
Levin looks like he's taking a dump! What a CREEP!
That's it exactly. The hubub of the funeral is a blur- the hard part is when the family and friends go home.
Having 20/20 hindsight, they should have chalked the corners on the stand cover to match the exact measuremnts of the casket. It would be straight instead of crooked.
Ron Prescott is married and I believe has children. The children's biographies were listed in USA Today the other day.
Who was/is the woman in the front row not wearing black?
(not in this photo, I saw her on TV)
He should have given up his seat to someone who would have been truly honored to be there!
FOX took their BANNER OFF!!!!!
