Most Reagan Mourners are Seriously Overweight
The AP photo linked below clearly shows that a considerable majority of this morning's (Thursday) Reagan mourners in line at the Capitol are corpulent.

Worse yet, two of the mourners are showing disrespect for the flag by wearing it. Of course, they are both significantly overwieght.

The photo also calls into question the media claims that "thousands" of mourners have come to the Capitol. The people in line are loosely scattered in a way that suggests a rather modest turnout.

Here is the link to the photo and its caption:

People wait in lines ,which will last several hours, to go into the Capitol Building in Washington Thursday, June 10, 2004 to view President Reagan's flag-draped casket which lies in state in the Rotunda through Friday. (AP Photo/Elise Amendola)
