C-SPAN | 6.11.04

[Dutchgirl]

I have seen the interviews where Michaels has said that he is most proud that he was Reagan's "chosen" son...

[Maigrey]

I'm glad to see thaat Poppy and Barbar aren't sitting near to the stinky onnes.

Taking nothing away from Thatcher, but Reagan's position that the Evil Empire had to be defeated was prominent long before Margaret Thatcher came to office.

Please pray for people to hear and receive the Word of God - Jesus Christ.

[Romish_Papist]

Very appropriate buidling for a National Cathedral.

Where is Raisa Gorbachev? Did she die?

Mrs. Gorbachev died Sept. 20, 1999 from leukemia

Fox is getting it right today. Not too much talking, and when they do speak, it it subdued.

[Mike Darancette]

On Inauguration Day 1981 the rain was pelting down. When Ronald Wilson Reagan rose to take the oath of office a beautiful Sun broke through the clouds.

As the Reagan procession approaches the Cathedral for our National funeral the rain is starting to fall again.

I heard Carl Cameron say that, too. Wonder exactly what made it more prominent than any of the other arrivals?

"Who is the redhead with Prince Charles?"

I was going to ask the same thing.

On another note, I see the Fords are there. Earlier in the week, they were saying that his doctor had advised against his being there. He looks pretty damn good to me.

And if we wanted to build it TODAY, the ACLU would file suit against it....

[Darlin']

"I just had to listen to Christiane Amanpour gush over Gorbachev"

Oh, how awful for you, such a revolting image and nauseating spewing.

[prairiebreeze]

Good grief. Shot of Bill & Hill alone in their row. They both look like they've swallowed a cactus.

[Not A Snowbird]

Uh oh, Ave Maria. I'm gone.

[small voice in the wilderness]

O.K.This is all too weird. The clintons really are sitting in the row in front of all the previous presidents. By themselves. Is there some kind of meaning to this?

[ken5050]

After you get electricity and indoor plumbing, no doubt?..(g)

[Clara Lou]

The "Ave Maria"! ~sob~

[Dutchgirl]

Irish tenor Ronan Tynan sings Schuberts "Ave Maria"

[carton253]

Is the redhead a man or woman?

[Maigrey]

Ronin Tynan<?) singing Ave Maria. Nice...
