It was a grey haired, very old looking gentleman.

Just fainted? They aren't doing CPR or anything? I can't really see on the Internet feed and my TV has been screwy all day.

Sometimes a little kindness is in order! Hildy is usually not so unhappy.

Sorry, Friend, but this is her MO.

Apologies if this has already been answered, but I haven't read the entire thread - who was the gentleman who gave the prayer at the beginning of the state funeral? Thanks in advance.

NBC: TV networks have been asked to keep the cameras away from the gentleman who has had a medical problem.

That describes about half the Congress.

Sometimes when people stand too long and lock their knees, for some reason the locking knees causing fainting. Happens in weddings too often.

All's well, though, according to Katie and Bob Schieffer....I was on CBS for a couple of minutes (they broadcast in HDTV and Fox doesn't) and Schieffer reminded us that "There's never a doctor far from the President"

Sheesh...the only President that's there tonight doesn't need a doctor any longer.
