I am so pissed that I screwed up my back. I may have been able to jump seat it back to DC and been there today or tomorrow. Argggghh
You may be right, but for the expressions on their faces. Pictures do not lie.
But well put, nonetheless. :-)
I don't think Mikulski is sitting. I think she is just really short.
phooey they don't.
Oh, my goodness. Isn't that something. Its amazing how much young children remember. Is she in DC already or is she going tomorrow ?
I have NO clue.
Hassert and Cheney praised him. Stevens gave a political speech. So, we disagree. And get more educated on funeral elogies while you're at it. You may need to give one some day.
That was absolutely beautiful. I think I might like to have that played at my own funeral.
Yes...I'll likely have to give an eulogy some day....and it will be done according to WHO the person is....not to "plain talk's" rules....LOL.
I agree, but if we did we'd just end up sending former PBS "workers" welfare checks for decades.....hehe.
You and I will end up feeding them either way.
At least this way I get to see wacked out libs crying about the spotted owl, evil capitalism, and why they were never picked for the team in grade school.
It's not like these folks can survive in the marketplace of ideas.
Oh, just as a follow up, almost all of the "Heros of the Revolution" they profiled, the former SDS/Weatherman types....ended up as college professors or Civil Rights Lawyers.
Big Suprise.
Only one ex-radical guy actually created anything, he opened his own tavern in New York.
He was the guy who thought random bombings might come off as a bit too "extreme" ....
I was working in Manhattan near St. Patrick's Cathedral after 9/11. For several weeks, if not months, there were funerals or memorial services held at St. Pat's for firemen and police officers. Often I would hear the bagpipers practicing outside on 51st St. Amazing Grace played on bagpipes is very moving.
I was elementary school age when LBJ died...all I remember is being at a friend's house and Anita Bryant singing "Battle Hymn of the Republic" on the TV...
She is already in DC .. she was really crying through to whole interveiw
It was very touching
Are you saying Senator Carl Levin a member of the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee and a Bush-basher supreme, is in a wheelchair?
Thank you for posting that picture. I had missed that during the live coverage.
Now that I think about the LBJ funeral the circumstances for LBJ when he left office was that he was very unpopular. So much so that instead of running in 1968 he simply quit. The Vietnam war had become his albatross. He died just over 4 years after leaving the Presidency and as I said earlier Watergate was raging at the time.
It's bad enough to lose him, but watching her is excruciatingly painful. It's very moving.
It's one of the best I've ever heard.
