President Bush will view the body of Pope John II immediately upon his arrival Wednesday from Washington, Vatican spokesman Joaquin Navarro-Valls said.
Bush and a U.S. delegation that includes two former presidents were flying to Rome late Wednesday to attend Friday's funeral, along with kings, presidents and government leaders from some 100 countries.
It was not immediately known if other heads of state would view the body, which has been lying in state in St. Peter's Basilica since Monday afternoon.
Dignitaries were being allowed to skip the massive line of pilgrims that snaked down a wide boulevard, through ancient alleyways and onto a bridge.
Just exactly what do you think Clinton is "using" Bush for? Are you of the opinion that Bush is "stupid" and therefore would let Clinton "use" him. I don't.
You are entitled to your opinion. Clinton has already used the Bush family. The continual photo opts, which we all know how much Clinton enjoys, is story enough. Hillary will use them, as a master campaigner, in her 2008 election. A picture is worth a 1000 words. The media will have a frenzy with it. Sorry, both Bush Presidents should distant themselves from the hillybillies. I certainly am not proud of the Clinton presidency.
