Is the Pope Catholic? Of course there are Freepers criticizing the events. The casket wasn't placed with geometric precision in the rotunda, the sentinel sailor was standing further from his corner of the casket than the others, people are wearing t-shirts and flip-flops to view the casket, Carl Levin was sitting down, the wreaths around the casket are "sissified", blah, blah, blah, waaah, waaah, waaah, shut up, no you shut up, etc.....it wouldn't be a live thread without it.
Very good! You forgot "The prayer wasn't Christian enough" and "why didn't the guy in the wheelchair stand up?"
Sorry about that everyone.... I have become as sniping at some here as those criticizing the events themselves sound.... burned out and time to go.
Fabulous day today, wonderful memories I will have of this.
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.
