I just saw the funniest comments about the hoopla in Washington on another board.
1. "How many times is Nancy gonna walk up and kiss that casket for a photo op, fer crissakes?"
2. Nancy's new business cards: "HAVE CASKET, WILL TRAVEL. Contact Nancy Reagan at the Reagan Presidential Library."

I didn't care for Reagan but it is clear that this couple was extremely devoted to each other. If you've ever lost a partner, you know that you are in a fog during the funeral and I seriously doubt she was looking for a photo op. Tomorrow may be time for politics to become nasty again...today we should give the family some privacy (in this very public funeral) to grieve and leave this poor woman alone.
She will become a proponent for stem cell research and Bush will probably have her killed anyway!

Almost as insightful as Paula Zahn on CNN describing the country's mourning for Reagan's death comperable to the mourning for the dead of 9/11.
Media moments....

Posted: 6/11/04 at 1:35pmI wonder if Ann Coulter was one of the lucky recipients of an invitation to the shindig?

Posted: 6/12/04 at 11:27amI heard the weather in DC described on the news as: "And in Washington the sky is crying in mourning for Ronald Reagan." In other words, it was raining. Gimme a break.

I HATE how people are SOOOOOO fake when a person dies. To me, pretending to give a damn about someone is disrepect, not being honest.

You guys should read Ann Coulter's website. I actually do more reading on the Republican boards and whatnot only to hear what it is they're saying. Talk about a hate-filled woman. Then again, she does loudly proclaim her love and allegiance to McCarthy, so what do you expect?
Go to www.anncoulter.com to read her tribute to Reagan and how she must be the only person in the world today who always loved Reagan and isn't just climbing on the bandwagon.

did ya ever consider that these people might not hate reagan as much as you folks do? that it's just possible that he might have been and still is quite popular? y'know there was that gallup poll back in '03 that found him to be at #3 on the list of "greatest presidents" (which was up from #4 in '00) and the abc news poll in '98 that placed him at #1 among presidents (over bubba even!) and the gallup poll that placed him #2 among the best presidents since ww2. you folks have to face the facts that the majority of the country either flat out liked reagan or at the very least respected him and the coverage represents that.
didja see the ann coulter talking action figure, bwaysinger?

Posted: 6/12/04 at 12:17pmTo the vituperative Ms Coulter ("why not blood for oil? Oil is important!"), McCarthy is a great American patriot, FDR a weak pinko traitor. Yawn. Reagan, truth be told, is rather to the left of those she most reveres. In her world, real men don't eat jelly beans, or pull marines outta hot spots. It's so predictably one-note, her liberals-as-the-root-of-all-evil thesis, it makes you wonder how she manages to live in that swingin' den of liberal iniquity, Manhattan. She's ridden her extreme stance all the way to the bank, of course. I'm just waiting for the fun-loving bachelorette who hates kids staying in her resorts to marry and start embracing the family values she holds so dear. Hey, Rush is available. Wouldn't THAT be a power couple??

Posted: 6/12/04 at 12:49pmActually, Papa, you may not believe me, but we're entirely on the same page here. I'm no Chomsky fan, and found most of his post-9/11 verbiage off-putting in the extreme.

Posted: 6/12/04 at 1:02pmSo I guess it's safe to say Ann wasn't referring to Eugene, eh?

Posted: 6/12/04 at 2:35pmI wasn't going to do it.....but I cried when Miss Nancy broke down....(I know, I'm a big baby)....But did anybody notice that there were no black people at the funeral in California...Oh maybe one- Johnny Mathis..I guess the Reagans didn't have very many close black friends..

"America's greatest president has gone home. God worked through Ronald Reagan on Earth and now He's taken him back."
I had to stop after Ann Coulter's second sentence. Because the contraction "he's" means "he is." Oh, sorry, He is.

hehe. Reading Ann Coulter is fun. Really. I read it all the time. It's always better to get the news from your opponent.
By the way, Papa, I did not know there was an Annie doll. Do you pull a string on her back and she whips out a sword and decapitates Democrats or something?
"new from Mattel: Ann Coulter, with Democrat-melting Dragon breath!"

namo, even though troyka might disagree, i think that it's been acceted by most of us low brows that "he's" can be a contraction for either "he is" or "he has." and namo, ya gotta check out that link as they have the new "turkey dinner bush" doll, uh i mean action figure!!!

Not trying to be contrary, but can't he's also be a contraction of he has?

My favorite Reagan story comes from Jerry Ford, of all people.
Ford was asked if he thought Reagan dyed his hair.
"Oh, no, I don't think he does", said Ford. "He's just prematurely orange."

Posted: 6/13/04 at 9:53amNo, it's "he is." And if it's changed, I don't want to know about it.
