WASHINGTONDeclaring that the mourning period for the recently deceased 41st president was just getting started, a spokesperson announced Thursday that the incredibly popular George H.W. Bush funeral would go on an extended two-week run. Based on the outpouring of support weve seen for a president who the public views as representing a more respectable era of American politics, weve decided to bring the nationally renowned George H.W. Bush funeral experience to 12 more cities across the country over the rest of the month, said Jim McGrath, spokesman for the late president, adding that Thousand Points Of Light: George H.W. Bush In Memoriam was slated for three nights in Texas before returning to Washington, D.C. for an encore funeral, and then the presidents casket would be loaded into a newly commissioned Boeing 747 for his final resting flight that would barnstorm across the country, including three sold-out nights at St. Patricks Cathedral in New York City.

(7,947 posts)Hey, I'll take it! But it was weird. Has there ever been a holiday for a president's funeral? Maybe JFK's, but that was really different (assassination during the presidency) from a 94-year old long-retired president.
But it will be nice to have the extra money for Xmas.
