[nostamj]

[Catshrink]

4. Nancy is letting him? That's a surprise.

[nostamj]

5. i think the "State Funeral" is out of her hands

[No2W2004]

6. Flips him off from the front row

:D

[ronnykmarshall]

21. Could you just see it?

Nancy turning to her son rolling his eyes "You're right, honey. You're father did take bigger craps than him."

[lancdem]

7. No surprise, I guess

but he's such a horrible speaker, he may blow it.

[Poiuyt]

22. I wonder if he'll be using a teleprompter

[SayitAintSo]

24. Think Bush*s staff will be hold thier breath .... all the while ?

**** PRAYING **** that he doesn't fu*k it up ....


:+

[No2W2004]

2. Yep.

Expect lots of funny post on Friday! :)

[Democat]

3. Bush will try to turn the whole thing into a campaign ad!

Bush to deliver eulogy at Reagan funeral in Washington

[I thought so.]

9. Here's hoping it will be as..

useful as the Abe Lincoln footage.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

17. If Condi's speech today is any indication...

...between now and November (or until Nancy gets fed up and goes public) we will be told the urgency of continuing the work that Reagan started. You'd better BELIEVE that she's talking about her boyfriend when she mentions "a vision to dream of a better, safer world, and the courage, persistence and patience to turn that dream into reality"...

Dr. Condoleezza Rice Previews the G8 Summit on Monday
Press Briefing by National Security Advisor, Dr. Condoleezza Rice on the G8 Summit

http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2004/06/20040607-2.html

"DR. RICE: Let me welcome you here to this very important summit. I'd like to start by just saying a word, of course, about the great sadness that the country feels at the death of former President Ronald Reagan, a true giant in international politics, and of course, someone who was very much associated with this summit. He hosted it in Williamsburg in 1983, and I think was one of the people who really gave the G8 a kind of -- at that time, the G7 -- a kind of profile. And so we all are deeply saddened by his death, and look forward this week to the opportunity to remember him, as a country and as a world.

As President Reagan said in 1985, the challenge of statesmanship is to have a vision to dream of a better, safer world, and the courage, persistence and patience to turn that dream into reality. And this week, the G8 statesmen will stand united in their resolve to build a better, united, and safer world."

8. I can't wait to watch Ron, Jr's reaction

I suppose the media will keep their cameras off the family during Bush's eulogy in case they do react badly to it.

[Kurt Remarque]

10. he kinda is the president

they will just wind him up and have him stumble through prepared and practiced remarks making some stupid mistakes...like always - the man with the paper asshole.

[nostamj]

11. expect something like this....

:eyes::crazy::nuke::boring::wow::eyes::crazy::nuke::boring::wow::eyes::crazy::nuke::boring::wow::eyes::crazy::nuke::boring::wow::eyes::crazy::nuke::boring::wow::eyes::crazy::nuke::boring::wow::eyes::crazy::nuke::boring::wow::eyes::crazy::nuke::boring::wow::eyes::crazy::nuke::boring::wow::eyes::crazy::nuke::boring::wow::eyes::crazy::nuke::boring::wow::eyes::crazy::nuke::boring::wow::eyes::crazy::nuke::boring::wow::eyes::crazy::nuke::boring::wow:

[dflprincess]

19. LOL

I wish I'd thought of that

[many a good man]

12. "Old Dutch, you'll be sorta' missed."

Could he possibly blow that line more than once?

[PretzelWarrior]

13. yep. he'll even tell a joke. what do reagan and pope have in common

besides surviving some crazy-@ss attempts on their lives?

They are both great ex-communicators.

badumbum.
thank you........is this thing on?

[Vickers]

14. Speak? Yeah, I *suppose* you could call it that

Me? I'd call it "repeating what the little patriot in my ear tells me to say" or something like that.

[Leilani]

15. John McCain did the eulogy

at Maureen Reagan s funeral. He was & is really close to the Reagans.
They wanted to see him beat Shrub in 2000, but they were told to stay neutral.

I am sure the Reagan family would prefer someone else to do the eulogy. Ron Jr. said something about Dubya being the drunk in the room when his Dad was President & Bush Sr was Veep.

[LibertyorDeath]

16. Yes here's a draft of it ....Edit at will

My fellow people of the America this is the day that sadens
you I've been umm eh Laurie was tellin me how Nancy & Ronnie were
real close close like with your neighbours that kinda close.
It got me to thinkin bout all the Evil & the Rape rooms &
Saddam was a very very dad man. If Ronnie was here he'd be doin same things like as me. Smokin those Terraists out of their calves
grindin down on Binladin.

You see he thunk like I have always & those are the ways that made him so much great.

Umm ehh ohh next questions

[Kurt Remarque]

18. maybe he will throw in a sniffle

crap shoot though...could create the perception of vulnerability

[killbotfactory]

20. How many times will Bush say "freedom"?

And will he thank Reagan for creating the great enemies which defined his presidency?

[donhakman]

23. Don't forget that GHW BUSH said he had sex with Reagan.

IT has been on almost every blooper show.

Let Nancy decide on a W euology.

[caffefwee]

25. Only if Cheney oks it.

nt

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

26. i'd hate to have him doing the eulogy

it kills any chance of an emotional ceremony when you have a guy reading 4 words, pausing, turning slightly, reading four more, pausing, turning slightly the other way, reading for more...etc

[Vickers]

27. Don't forget the winking!

That's my favorite...

[theboss]

28. Clinton eulogized Nixon

I think it is SOP for the President to eulogize a deceased president. But I'm really not sure; this is the first full-blown state funeral since 1973 (which is pretty amazing when you stop to think about it).
