Doris Kearns Goodwin (Dem swine) is already starting to criticize the service. She says it was unbelievable that Clinton and Carter weren't allowed to speak.

/lainie hands hattend a pre-emptive tonic and sincere thanks -- if you plan to watch that swill to let us know what they say I'd be grateful.

Michael Medved just said that, speaking as a professional critic, there was nothing tto criticize, (major paraphrase) in today's service.

Doris Kearns Goodwin and Michael Beschloss are both too partisan to be identified as 'historians.' They are operatives!!!!

Why should they have spoken? They didn't have a good word to say about Reagan when he was alive; why should we have to listen to their phony platitudes when he is dead.

Don't let it annoy you..it will backfire..like the Wellstone service..it will remind a lot of Reagan Dems why they voted for him..

Sheesh. Why doesn't the HISTORIAN look at HISTORICAL precedent? Former Presidents Carter, Ford and Bush didn't speak at President Nixon's funeral. Of the living presidents, only the sitting President Clinton did. President Ford was only Nixon's veep for a few years. President George H.W. Bush was veep for two full terms.

Did she cite something about the Eisnhower, LBJ or Kennedy funerals that we don't know about? IIRC, Kenedy's funeral was Catholic and had few eulogists other than the Cardinal.

I thought she was this great presidential historian. She, of all people, should know and understand that the Presidents themselves are to plan their own funerals. Shut up, Doris.
