Piping the Side....

This is so different than Pres. Reagan's, and has some wonderful differences..

This pause at the WWII Memorial is breathtaking...

Getting tired of hearing what good friends Carter and Ford were after they both left the White House.

Blech.

Wallace is doing a better job than the rest of them!

And yes, I'll do your live thread, too.

All networks on board in NYC now. Perhaps they were all waiting for 6:30.

As I posted on the Saddam thread (and please pardon ruining the somber moment), Herself and Bubba are vacationing in the Caribbean...full-page photo of them walking hand in hand in the NY Post today. Now if W was off chopping wood during a Dem president funeral, we'd never hear the end of it. Are they hopefully not coming back for the official funeral?

Love the women in uniform, the Eagle Scouts and of course, the VP & Rummy on the scene.

"Wouldn't have gone out of my way to see him when he was alive.."

Why did you go out of your way to post on this thread? You could have just ignored it instead of posting something rude.

Me, too!

But, then, my husband (ex) pointed out that I didn't even *know* anybody who wouldn't vote Republican........LOL.

I just hated that he lost.

And bringing those tacky Carter children to the White House? *Shudder!*

I'm on (non-cable) FOX now.

Cheney has arrived at Capitol. Senator Dole is there as well; he's the tallest!

For those of us who lived those days, it's something we'll never forget.

Regardless of the party.
