For all that I dislike Reagan, picking on the family at the funeral seems a bit strained. How does one compose one's face when there is a high likelihood that a television camera is just waiting to swoop in on any expression? Nancy and Ronald were a matched set--she was as obnoxious as he was in her time at the White House. Moreso when they were preparing to move in--Nancy had the balls to suggest that Roslyn and Jimmy Carter should move OUT of the White House early so it could be redecorated. But she's 80-something and coming off of 10 years of living with someone with Aldzheimers. I wouldn't wish on anyone, not even her. Who knows what was going on with the kids--they didn't look uncomfortable where they were. But I didn't stick around to listen to Cheney or any other speakers.
BillD said ....I might not have agreed with all the sentiments, but if you didn't know the details, you'd be impressed...If I were in that coffin, I'd want someone to say that quality of stuff about me!
Bill, if you were in the coffin listening to that, I'd be worried, I wouldn't be impressed!
