My two lawyer daughters think John Roberts is a hunk. (I think it's okay to say that on this thread.)

He is not part of this service but leads the official funeral on Tuesday. This is for Congress only, right?

Now that you mention it --- you're right.
I do think that Wallace has a nice voice for funerals. :)

I have not seen Rumsfeld. Thought I saw him early at Andrews, but not since.

I thought a thread yesterday said POTUS isn't coming back to DC until tomorrow.

I like Major. Classy reporter.

Agree.

I remember how genuinely broken up he was during Reagan's funeral. He became a personal favorite after that.

Watch this on C-Span. Very respectful, no cutting for commercials, no annoyign chatter from the anchors. You get to feel the moment, as if you were actually present at the services.
