Wow! Vice President Cheney's tribute to President Ford and his gratitude to Mrs. Ford was inspiring.

Hate to tell you, sweetie, I'm playing ostrich much more than I should.

What a wonderful tribute VP Cheney offered.

This is an absolutely beautiful ceremony; from what the "heads" said, I thought it was going to be very simple.

But it is not. I think it's simple in its own magnificent way.

Beautiful words from Vice President Cheney

Beautiful, yes. And, from his heart.

He spoke those in mine, too.

Thanks. I guess I am not doing too well today. I did not get any sleep last night. I mean I was up all night and then when I tried to go back to bed, I heard this awful noise outside. I got up to look to see what was going on and it was a wood chopper across the street. Very, very loud! It sounded like it was inside the house.

Pelosi isn't speaker until January.

I know...someone else asked me whether or not Pelosi was there. Check the post.

And you are right - the new congress has not yet convened. Technically the Congress is adjourned "sine die" (sp), so I would think that the leadership at the time of recess would be recognized.

WOW! What a speach!

I thought it was a wonderful speech. I think the VP gave the best speech at Reagan's funeral as well. Very poignant.
