Nancy seemed truly touched by Cheney's words.

She looked like she wanted to put her cheek on the coffin like she did at the library.

My wife reads lips, and told me that Nancy said, "I love you Ronnie" while she was patting the casket.

I can't believe that FOX is putting on the O'Reilly Factor. What a blowhard. It's been hard enough with Greta interviewing OJ. CNN's coverage has been so much better!

Gee, at this one we are not hearing chants of WE WILL WIN WE WILL WIN WE WILL WIN.

Or the Theme from Rocky either. Wasn't that what they played when the Clintons entered, or something similar?

Could anything have been more disreprectful than Carl Levin? I guess a "thumbs-up" after leaving a viewing is a close second.

I'm really glad I was in the next room here and didn't see that. Between the Singing Sargeants and Cheney's eulogy I was already pretty weepy.

Okay, who's the...person on CNN arguing that Reagan didn't win the Cold War?

LOL. I've been worrying about him througout the whole service. Not that it detracted froom the occasion at all, just that I think he'll feel bad when he sees the photos.

FOX NEWS just brushed aside its Allstars, chaired by Brit Hume, to go to the entirely unwatchable ego-storm known as Bill O'Really--er--O'Reilly.

Is anyone at FoxNews reading this thread? This is unforgiveable! If you want to know how it is done, try MSNBC (and try to tune-out Joooo-hater Pat Buchanan).
