Nancy was and is without a doubt, the classiest First Lady we have had in a long, long time.

Wasn't it wonderful? You could see Mrs. Regan was touched by it. When they followed that with the AF singers that really tore me up.

Do a goggle for military music or search for the singing sergeants, you will be surprised at what you can find and the cost.

Boy when you compare this solemnity (is that a word) with the Wellstone Rally, er, funeral, it makes the Democrats look acutely INSANE!!

So many people, silent and full of respect for a man that many did not even know. All colors and creeds are assembled in DC on this day, this is AMERICA at its best. This is an AMERICA the Democrats can never, ever understand.

This is an AMERICA that the 'Rats don't want.

"...anybody look over to DU..."

Yup they are spewing brainless filth as usual.

So strange that persons offered education in the USA can't think, and have so much hatred.

Here's an excerpt of a comment stating that the 'Lincoln' Ronald Reagan was truly like is not Abraham Lincoln but...

...G. Lincoln Rockwell was a nazi piece of sh*t from the 60's. He hated everything non-white and Jewish. But he was honest about it. I think he got assassinated, but I'm not 100% sure about that. Anyway, I read a chilling interview with him in Playboy a long time ago, where Alex Hailey(Roots) interviewed him, and he said that Hailey should be dead too, its just that Hailey was sitting right there surrounded by big bastards. So maybe thats the Lincoln they meant....(Reagan was really like.)

Sad.

Has John Kerry changed out of his wetsuit yet after windsurfing the relecting pool behind the caisson?

LOL!

No. He's wearing the real tight wetsuit. You know, the one in that Annie Liebowitz took that shows off his "package"?

He's waiting for the Kerry Babes to show up and ogle.

More Grecian Formula! More Botox!

Oh, and send someone to buy lunch for the film crew, eh? John's going to try and mount the Riderless Horse.

Speaking of which, who wants to bet that the footage from yesterday's stunt is being made into a commercial as we speak?

Be Seeing You,

Chris

Was that Michael Reagan that they cut off as he was bowing before his father?
