They're all shameless publicity hounds....Sen Nelson is really an ass...he's been all OVER the nets..the guy hasn't slept in 3 days, I think....all because he once rode the shuttle...guess this means that if Graham drops out of the Dem presidential race, he'll run himself....also, look for the dems to resurrect JOhn Glenn in Ohio to run again for the sdenate in 2004..

I hate CNN but I want the best coverage for this.

I agree - but they really are the best for this type of thing. I guess experience counts for something.

C-Span is now showing the memorial without commentary for those that prefer it that way.

She is the daughter of Astronaut Michael Smith. She was very inspiring. You can hear the band playing hymns in the background. I have heard "I Need Thee Every Hour" and "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God."

Air Force Band from Lackland playing now.

Thanks for the heads-up re: CSAPN. I have grown to like John Gibson.....but don't want to listen to him today talk OVER anything.

I would like to know just where Bill Nelson was when the budget ax was falling on NASA? Did he openly voice his opposition? Did he offer any amendments to the appropriations bills on the floor or in conference? Did he sponsor supplimental appropriation? If not he should be called on this and slapped down.

IMHO, Nelson road his "star status" to Washington then failed to produce for Florida. He turned his back on the organization that gave him his day in the sun. I hope the good people of Florida now see him for the liberal fraud he is.

That's the bad part...the anchors all feel the need to speak over the ceremony. I wish they'd just shut up.

Starting. Would someone call Fox News and have them get rid of the stock market crawl.

I am amazed--even the networks (ABC, CBS, NBC) are carrying this service.
