I agree. Ministers are usually politicians and this one would certainly be but at least Vicky Jean wasn't there.
The gross inappropriateness of this "clergyman's" comments really took a lot of nerve on his part. What a complete turnoff. If I was Betty Ford or any member of the Ford family, I would really be upset by this guy's manipulative use of the pulpit at my family member's funeral. As a citizen of the US, I am actually disgusted by what this guy said at a State funeral of a former POTUS.
Sorry, not a comment on the minister; but I came to this thread wondering if anyone else saw clinton LICK HIS FINGER AND RUB HIS EYES!! Trying to look moist eyed, I suppose. He is out of practice.
It was perfectly caught on tape....someone must have the video! I wish I had recorded it! I believe it was when Kissinger was speaking...
