Forgive but an ugly observation: I believe Kerry is trying to set up a "Bentstead" scenario. By saying he met with Reagan, is Kerry trying to say that he met Reagan and GWBush is no Reagan? I suspect as much. That would be real hutzpah since he was literally a Reagan contrarian with few exceptions.

I wasn't criticizing the funeral ... it was totally wonderful and moving.

I did miss not being able to hear the muffled drum and see more of the horse, but that was more a matter of coverage.

I loved the rest of the music.

I even liked Steven's but knew while I was hearing him that it would be severely criticized.

Dog gone it. That's what I get for leaving O'Reilly on. Fox left the coverage for an interview with Michele Malkin and Monica Crowley, and boy were they wanting.

watching her is excruciatingly painful. It's very moving.

My heart breaks every time I see Nancy. He has been in her life since 1947 and ,I believe, married for 52 years. I'm nowhere close to having lived 50 years, much less can I imagine being married to someone that long. There will be a huge void in her life. I am praying for her, she is such a great lady.

not at the pace shown on CSPAN now - no way they get 5000 an hour at this pace. people are just standing around and walking very slowly.
