He looked thin on TV today.
BTW everybody, C-Span plans to be generous tomorrow--Saturday and show a 30 minute segment of his trip. Guess they think they're being fair and balanced by showing him for 30 minutes, then Rosa Parks funeral for 3 or 4 hours, giving the dems a chance to spew their hatred.
Anyway, the schedule shows the president, then Rosa Park's funeral, then the president and Rosa Parks again. So, we have a total of 1 hour of the president and 6 to 8 hours of the democrats. I guess we should be thankful for small favors though.
They'll probably show the riots for that 30 minutes, then the 3 hours of dems bashing him, so we'll probably end up seeing 8 hours of non stop Bush bashing.

Note that they will also be showing over 6 hours straight of the Rosa Parks funeral.
Please bear in mind that I do not in ANY WAY think that Rosa Parks' funeral should not be shown, but as usual, the democrats are using the event to bash the president--more or less, while highlighting clinton and his "wanna be president" wife. They have NO character at all. They knew that Ms. Parks funeral would be well televised, as it should be, but there's no excuse for taking the opportunity to trash President Bush. Somehow, I don't think Ms. Parks would have appreciated what they turned her funeral into. It was like another Wellstone event. I didn't watch too much of it, just because of what the dems were saying.
BTW, at the memorial service in DC, they NEVER ONCE acknowledged that President Bush was there, which I thought was pretty common of them. In fact, I don't remember them even showing his face during the whole service. They didn't miss Kennedy, Dean, Kerry, etc., however.
*sigh* We have learned to expect this kind of treatment of our president, but it sure doesn't make it any easier to take! God bless him and keep him safe on this horrible trip!
BTW, I understand the funeral was actually 7 hours long! Maybe it just seemed that long, but that's what was reported on FOX.
I don't mean to begrudge anyone the ability to have a funeral for whatever length, but, REALLY, 7 hours?
