Hopefully he will reach DC soon.
Seeing the VP and Hastert on either side of Mrs. Ford, I can't help but wonder if Rummy was supposed to be positioned where Hastert is standing.

Cheney was next to Mrs. Ford. Was it him?

Chris says someone in the audience collapsed, which is causing a pause.

My question is, if a family member is active duty, are they required to wear their uniform at the funeral?

I would never watch CNN whether Fox went to a commercial or Not.Unfortunately T.V. at this time requires that we watch commercials or there would be No programming.

I'm sure that the Transition from Air Force One to The disembarking of President Fords Remains would not be looked as disrespect by anyone.

Is it me, or did Dole look particularly frail?
