I just watched and heard the words given by Dick Cheney.

Never a greater tribute has one man given another. It left me tearful.

"I have never heard such a fine eulogy as the one that Vice President Cheney just delivered. Never..."

Agree. Will look for a transcript. . . it is definitely a keeper.

That is what I ended up doing since I could not sleep. Do you know that there is not that much on TV from about 3 am?

Who is he?

Rear Adm. Black has been the Senate Chaplain ever since Rev. Lloyd Ogilvie stepped down, sometime before 9/11, I believe. I remember him from the first anniversary of the 9/11 attack - he was at the Pentagon service.

Who was that that just made the Sign of the Cross, and briefly saluted? It was one of the honorary pallbearers.

It was a flawless and moving eulogy; that given by the Vice President.

The music just played: "Tis the Gift To Be Simple", a Shaker hymn, set by Aaron Copland.

How appropriate for a humble President...
