National Debt = $7.23 trillion and rising by $1.7 billion every day, including Sundays and holidays. And to think that just 4 years ago it was decreasing....

Sending the backup to Airforce One to get his body was pretty expensive...But to be honest I don't have a problem with it. This is the first State Funeral that has happend in my life (I'm 31)...And after all it is a man that was the President.

Nightingale 0 #8 June 11, 2004 all the taxpayers pay for it... just like they'll pay for the funeral expenses of every US president, and many of our soldiers. It's just a way of saying "thanks." Even though he was a republican, he was still a US president, and deserves to be buried with the honors appropriate for any world leader. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll bet Hilary would've been having more fun being anywhere BUT the funeral . . . --- Edited to add: The "nodding off" act was performed during GWB's eulogy, and was clearly a low class "fuck you" since she and bubba appeared bright eyed and attentive during the rest of the ceremony. It's just more evidence indicating the extreme low charachter and ugliness of those people. . . =(_8^(1) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wmw999 2,589 #14 June 11, 2004 I'm sure if you tried, you could find less-than-flattering looks on many faces from a video. But people will look for what they want to, and object to others who point out flaws in their icons.

It could be a smirk -- after all bubba and bride are "pullin' a good one" on Georgie here . . . This wasn't a momentary closing of the eyelids or an outtake in an unflattering moment. That bitch sat there like that for a long time. Maybe it's related to Nancy turning down bubba's offer to speak. Maybe it's just because the Clintons are assholes. Who knows? But whatever it is, it is surely despicable and disrespectful.

You must be kidding if you ever expected that from the Clintons. Those to are bordering on being fucking SOCIOPATHS. They are PATHOLOGICAL in their venom and in their lust for power. I hadn't seen or heard about this snoozing/smirking thing. You'd think that these sick fucks were unaware that cameras would be on them!

It doesn't really matter what side of the fence you want to straddle with this--its going to be a MESS (think CASHBAR and PORKRINDS for everybody) The Reagan funeral was well-done and appropriate. I really feel for Mrs Reagan..she looks so tired and frail but she was dignified through it all. I feel bad for anyone who loses a spouse through death and to be on camera all the time *SIGH*.

Michele 1 #20 June 12, 2004 QuoteI really feel for Mrs Reagan..she looks so tired and frail but she was dignified through it all. An amazingly strong and faithful woman, in all aspects. Her love is beheld by all at all moments, and whenever I've seen her, I'm reminded of what love and marriage is supposed to be. Frail, tired and careworn, Nancy remains quietly above the fray, above the pomp and circumstance, as this nation says farewell. Nancy. His partner, spouse, friend, lover. In sickness and in health. 'Til death did them part. But I've watched her caress and stroke the casket, and have difficult times walking from where her husband lies. Her heart lays with her husband, and I believe his heart lays with her. Indeed, I am not at all sure death has parted them; I think it could not. For those are souls entwined, forever together, sailing, dancing, laughing, smiling through eternity together. Godspeed, Mr. President. Thank you. And Nancy, for your awe inspiring class, incredible commitment, and rare love, I thank you.
