Very well trained horses. John Palmer on MSNBC said this is the first time we have had a State Funeral since 1973 with LBJ but they didn't have the riderless horse then. This is more like the Kennedy funeral.

If the riderless horse looks jumpy, it must be because he just figured out Mr. Reagan will not be showing up to ride him.

Probably only Democrat staffers. The cry went out, "REAGAN'S RETURNING!", and they all headed for the hills.

And this president loved to ride. A real man.

I'm going to stay with Fox, everytime I go to MSNBC, Spitface is always bringing up Kennedy's and Johnson's funeral or speaking disrespectful of Cheney....I can't take him any longer.
Nancy looks wonderful and I think the people are bringing her great strength right now.

Major Garrett on Fox says that he has never heard so many people quiet and respectful.
To: Xenalyte
I'm pretty familiar with his voice. :D
It sounded just like him.
To: longtermmemmory
Could this mark the start of the SECOND REAGAN REVOLUTION? No doubt, conservatives will draw resolve. The voters as a whole will determine the orderly outcome.

Yes, it cerainly seems to have grown.
That horse is name Sgt York. He is a thoroughbred race horse who started this duty once his raciog days were finished. Sgt York was not his racing name, but at this moment I don't recall what it was.
