He's all that and more. He's a very dangerous, self absorbed man.

When she flunked the D.C. bar she essentially lost her job in D.C. so she realized how much she llooooovvvvvveeeeddddddddd ole bill and moved to Arkansas after passing that bar.

I can rarely access the 'Dose' thread because of my dial up.

the pictures just don't load. If you get on in the first minute or two you can read the comments but after that it's 'no go'. boo hoo.

You're right about not too much criticism of Roslyn, but they did go after Amy. She was insufferable.

It was good news to have the Carter son lose in Nevada! Hope that's the last we'll see of him.

And BTW, haven't heard whether dizzy tizzy's son won his primary in PA. I guess not or the media would be hyperventilating over him.

I agree it is for those left behind to celebrate and mourn the loss of a friend, colleague, someone they respected etc etc.

In particular for mourners the funeral is important and helps to start the process of closure and healing.

Thank you for this thread. I am lad President Ford is receiving the honors he deserves because of his his many years of military and governmental service. I have felt sad since I heard he died. May he Rest in Peace. May his family find comfort in the love and gratitude of the Nation. God Bless America.

Found out where Hellary is

Villas at $2300 a day. Certainly being paid under the ruse of some government sponsored exploratory trip. And, of course, we have to pony up for the SS since Bubba is there. Wonder how many of these villas they needed? I, for one, am glad to see Bubba wasn't in DC last night. I've seen enough of his fake tears.

From your link

At the Congressional Gold Medal ceremony, I was able to say something publicly about Ford that needed to be said by a Democratic president: "When you made your healing decisions ... it was easy for us to criticize you, because we were caught up in the moment. You didn't get caught up in the moment, and you were right."

As I understand it, recruits (those not slated for a seat at Navy schools training personnel in critical skills) are picked for the ceremonial guard based on boot camp behavior, military bearing, physical fitness, etc., with also an eye to the height of the person (generally low 6-footers, with some exceptions). Most of the other services select similarly (so that they all can blend in together during interservice efforts such as moving Ford's coffin up the Capitol steps).

There are also avenues for other junior personnel to apply for the program, but the needs of the Navy come first.

they were talking about Rumsfeld and VP Cheney being pall bearers....and Katie the commie went on to say, basically laughing in the background, "well, what do you think Rumsfeld and Cheney are thinking now that President Ford was so critical of them?"...this while the casket was moving into the rotunda...

the historian, Brinkley, set Couric striaght and made her look foolish- he said while President Ford may have been critical of the war there was no doubt about the love Rummy and Cheney had for him...

Katie needs to turn in her journalism badge for the sleazy gossip columnist award.

"President Ford may have been critical of the war ..."

Totally disgusting hype. He said The WMD angle was played up too much and Saddam's atrocities were reason enough. Big Deal.

The enemedia strikes again. Someone needs to get some fruit to throw and get the disinformation specialists off the stage.

Yes she did. Washington wasn't her town back then, it appears. I hope it never is any more, too.
