May have been mentioned, is Pelosi there?

She is out of the country leading the Democrat delegation to the funeral for Saddam Hussein.

It was likely because he knew he'd never been elected to either of the two highest offices in the land. That doesn't mean he wasn't qualified for them, he just knew that he hadn't been chosen by a majority of the voters, in either case, so he didn't act like he had.

I was just an Army SGT at the White House when President Ford was there. When we passed by he would usually nod or throw a good morning my way. Carter never did. It was an honor just to hold an umbrella over The President or Mrs Ford. They were just common, good people.

There is just something proper about Hastert still being the Speaker to give President Ford an official eulogy -- beautiful tributes by both him and VP Cheney.

I love Cheney...

(that's a rare thought on this thread, LOL! I am but one of many)

Count me in, I love him too. He was wonderful tonight.

"The Name of Him Who is the Resurrection and the Life."

In other words, Our Lord Jesus Christ.

I made a comment on what I had read; the truth really seems to bug some of you all.

I think it's simple in its own magnificent way.

Like the man himself it seems.

How will we ever make it through the next two years?

Together. With prayer, hope and strategy.

Look at it this way...we will never be bored and will have plenty of freeping to do.

You have found the silver lining to the dark cloud.

Personally, I wished he would have said the Holy Name.

VP Cheney is such a treasure. How I pray that somehow, someway, he will run for pres and win. Lynn would be such a classy first lady, too.

Tears for Betty at the coffin.
