LIVE THREAD--Reagan State Funeral Ceremony: Lying in State at the Rotunda (6/11/04)

"Patti, MICHAEL and Ron"...

I love you, President Bush..

[YaYa123]

Yep, I guess he was sleeping after all...I just saw him wipe drool off his face.

[Lil'freeper]

Senior President Bush recognized "Michael, Ron, and Patti". I thought that proper... since Michael is the oldest, and has been somewhat neglected this week.

I've noticed and thought on this, too. The emphasis on Ron and Patti may be a polite way of honoring them for mending fences. Something similar happened at a recent funeral in my family. I don't think Michael will mind. He is secure in his relationship with his father- and the country knows it.

Interesting Thatcher is sitting next to Mikhail Gorbachov. Who would have thought that one 30 years ago?

Ronald Reagan? *S*

[MineralMan]

Could you just save the Clinton-bashing until this service is over, please?

[ken5050]

Bubba wanted $100,000 to appear, $200,000 NOT to..

[linn37]

I pointed that out to the teenagers. Thats history being made while you watch.

[Ciexyz]

President Bush is really a wonderful public speaker. There's no call for the Democratic press to slam him as mentally deficient or draw cartoons of him with his ears sticking out and looking like a gnome.

[Dog]

Amazing huh.....just think about it for a second.

[Lil'freeper]

'The convictions that shaped the man began to shape the times."

[longtermmemmory]

Class reference to Carter and Anderson of 1980 race.

[Vision Thing]

Bush says "A government in Washington that began to exceed its limits."

The camera focuses on Clinton.

Clinton wipes his brow.

[Catspaw]

It was a joke...about Ronnie on the set, talking. Someone asked, "you should be president." Ronnie said, "of what." "President of the United States." Ronnie said, "you don't like my acting either."

[capydick]

It sure looked like it. I wish someone could find a pic and post it here.

After seeing all of this the last couple of days, I told the wife yesterday we are definitely getting TIVO next week.

[Abigail Adams]

When W asked Reagan one day if he ever thought about becoming president, he said, "President of what?" W said "The United States." Reagan said, "Oh, you don't like my acting either?"

[SW6906]

OK

[doug from upland]

Camera on Clinton again. He wakes up and now has his head pushed up and back with that smug look. You just know he is thinking about some bimbo.

[Xenalyte]

I would like you three to know that Hillary does not have ONE LICK of makeup on.

[Tarantulas]

If Clinton does something absolutely unbelieveable, such as trying to grab the limelight, you can bet your sweet bippy we're going to mention it here.

This is not a time to be talking about the Clintons. Either one of them.

[TenthAmendmentChampion]

Yes, a joke about fellow actors talking about Ronald Reagan in the '50s... asking if he might be headed toward other things (like being president).

"President?" Ronnie asked. "So you don't like my acting, either, huh?"
