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

[lainie]

President Ford trails off and his mind wanders a bit, and even when he's focused his speech is a bit halting. Betty will just interrupt him and speak for him in mid-sentence. It made me chuckle at the time, but it's touching overall.

[Maigrey]

Yea. Rummy's there also. I think he is back behind Colin Powell.

[don-o]

Why must we dwell on the Clintons..I would love to ignore them on this day.

If Gore were president, he'd be delivering a eulogy for our country and our way of life..

Quote of the day...

[linn37]

President Bubba will mind his manners on camera,but that witch of a wife of his looks very annoyed.

[mtbopfuyn]

And we aren't in the streets causing riots and exploding bombs and shooting children...

[Terriergal]

I think this funeral contrasted against the way the arab world has their "in the street funeral processions" really, really, demonstrates the significant differences in our cultures.

SO true. And if the majority of people in the crowds were libs we'd probably see the same kind of chaos and silly behavior.

Ditto.

You can usually wear black or grey.

Welcome to the real America, FRiend.

[ambrose]

maybe there was more to the Memorial Day incident than just a playful shove?

[ken5050]

Hope we've all noticed that FR has been remarkably troubel free all this week...happily..there have been some notable examples of unfortunately timed "down time" in the past..

[Catspaw]

I'm wearing a red sweater (it's only 54 and it's raining in Green Bay).

[E Rocc]

Rummy is there. Fox showed him briefly.

My guess would be either Hastert or Stevens isn't there, along with John Snow (Treasury).

[Lil'freeper]

The video coverage is really nice- all the shots of the architecture and musicians.

[mombonn]

Re 635 - LOL, thanks!

[the Deejay]

Did you notice, no one was conversing with the klintoons? Not even the Carters.
Just the two of them were chatting with each other. (Probably the first time in 4 yrs.)

[lainie]

Weather is a mere coincidence!?
