LIVE THREAD: Pres. Bush pays respects and calls on Mrs. Reagan

[alisasny]

Alot of dignataries are now showing up to pay respects. McCain, Guiliani, Gorby, Karzai, etc.

Cspan has live coverage. Bush expected at 7 but could be earlier? He is then going to visit with Mrs. Reagan.

Guard changes about every half hour at .28 and .58 of the hour. One is going on right now.

The C-Span site is supposed to have videos of all of this. If it isn't up yet, it will be. They said everything that has occurred since his lying in state at the library is on there.

I was wondering about McAuliffe, and was referred by the Almighty to this gentleman for a Second Opinion...

Before his visit to the Rotunda, Dubya had an absolutely magnificent day in Georgia at the press conference.

Reagan's spirit infused him it seems. He was manhandling the reporters like they were so much fluff.

Thanks for the heads up on that Red...I'm tryin to talk my hubby into drivin there this weekend..it'd be fun :-)

I would be satisfied if the Good Lord just made most of these people semi human with manners as good as my cats. I would settle for just making them bearable.

It depends on what the meaning of "sin" is....

Be Seeing You,

Peggy Noonan was a little off when she predicted that the libs would start spouting off on Friday after the memorial service. Today my husband's liberal cousin called us and started carrying on about President Reagan, President Bush and Vice President Cheney. (it was the only reason he called) This week must be driving the libs craaaaazzzyyy!

I don't know about the first part. I was raised to believe you had to be sorry for your sins and ask for forgiveness AND not do it again! I don't know if there is a provision that if you don't think it's a sin, is it? LOL

My thoughts, exactly. I somehow cannot see God waiting patiently while clinton tries to explain what is is. Not that clinton wouldn't try it. I just don't think it's going to work!

[Lemondropkid31]

Thanks! That's a good idea, but on this computer I am on, I think I better wait for Brit LOL.

You mean CHeney didnt start a rally cray in the Rotunda...

It cracked me up when the Dimocrats suggested that we might follow their suit. It's like the person who says to me "I know what you're thinking"...to which I say, "How do you know what I'm thinking...if YOU'RE not thinking the same thing?"

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?

The one thing I remember they did play at Kennedy's funeral was the Navy Hymn. I believe they played that when his casket was being carried up the stairs to the Capitol Building. I couldn't get over the soldiers who carried it all the way up those stairs. I was afraid that they'd drop it because the incline was so high. I too remember the drumbeat. I think it's imbedded in my brain. I can still thump it out today.

Kerry will go for the photo-op. He can't resist. Moth to flame

[Brad’s Gramma]

prisoner of War is on TCM with Ronald Reagan. Very poignant movie.
