Long day for Mrs. Reagan.
Sheesh - me either. If I were my boss, I'd fire me!
CNN says a plane violated air space.
Thought it might be carrying the Kentucky Governor.
Hopefully, she got some rest on the trip.
Bears repeating.
Did anyone hear about 5 minutes ago on FNC - they said that President Bush and First Lady may be coming to town tonight to take part in the ceremony?
Thank you. I was wondering what channel to set the vcr on.
Thank you
for the cube dwellers, the plane has landed, and is taxing to the drop-off point.
LOL!
I'm sick and can't hear, can't breath and can't let myself cry tonight or I'll be finished.
D'OH!!!
No problem
I didn't hear due to the kids
Sorry I can't help
CBS feed is working again! :)
Someone needs to tell Fox that the subtitle under the picture of AF One that says casket reaches Andrews AFB is not appropriate IMHO!
What is with Fox today -- they are driving me nuts!
MSNBC has Ronald Wilson Reagan FAREWELL
CNN has The State Funeral of Ronald Reagan, June 9, 2004
Fox just changed to Farewell to President Reagan. Guess I wasn't the only one shocked by their original graphic words on the bottom.
