[helderheid]

1. beautiful picture. Thank you.

[Greeby]

2. God, I wish this man was President again

:patriot:

[cyberpj]

9. Let us not forget we worship the PRINCE OF PEACE. (It bore repeating.)

[Sydnie]

3. thank you Cornfield! n/t

[Misunderestimator]

4. WIRE TAPPING .... GO Jimmy!!

[libnnc]

11. Whoooop!!!

He went there!!!

[bliss_eternal]

22. Oh yes he did!

:wow:

[bliss_eternal]

12. I can't believe he went there--

SECRET GOVT. WIRETAPPING!

:wow:

[KyndCulture]

20. GO! Jimmy!!!! he brought it! nt...

[CornField]

5. President Jimmy Carter speaking

Very eloquent.

[NightOwwl]

6. Carter rocks.

Getting the digs in bigtime.

[helderheid]

7. WIRETAPPING

[TahitiNut]

8. Go JIMMY!!! (wire-tapping!)

:applause: :applause: :applause: :applause:

[Rose Siding]

21. Enthusiastically applauded

You KNOW that pathetic and petty man sitting to President Carter's rear is seething. :bounce:

[TahitiNut]

45. I have no illusions (or interest) that the Fecal Fuhrer 'feels' anything.

I spend not one iota of interest on what he supposedly 'feels' or 'thinks' and doubt he does either. He's an untreatable pathological narcissist and a total tool for the global 'ownership' interests - those whose wealth and power come solely from the labor, suffering, and deaths of others.

[Greeby]

10. "secret government wiretapping"

:applause:

[malaise]

16. He nailed them

That was sweet. I love this man

[bliss_eternal]

19. When he said it I cheered!

OMG--my poor husband, he works nights--hope I didn't wake him. :blush:

[atldem]

23. same here

my girlfriend is sleeping upstairs.

[bliss_eternal]

This has been so emotional!

:hi:

[Sydnie]

13. Thank You President Carter - Illegal Wiretapping needed to be

said!

[Pithy Cherub]

14. My deepest respect to President Carter!

He's talking about the survellance! Go Jimmy and the harrassment of the FBI! Their handshakes were worth a million Yankee votes!

[CottonBear]

15. President Carter is really laying into Chimpy re: illegal wiretapping

Chimpy is no longer visible on-screen. Damned criminal.

[BlacknBlue in Red NC]

18. MSNBC protecting him?

[CottonBear]

25. Nope. The coward is shrinking from camera view all on his very own.

His beady little eyes just peaked around the edge of the screen.

[Surya Gayatri]

24. Oh, please God, bring us

back leaders of his stature! sg

[Jeanette in FL]

17. Smackdown by Pres. Jimmy C

Wow, "they were wiretapped by the government" and spied on by the FBI" Wow, that was excellent.

[cyberpj]

27. And now bringing up the color of the faces of those in Katrina states.

[Pryderi]

28. EXCELLENT!

[BlacknBlue in Red NC]

30. "The color of the faces in Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi...

not yet equal opportunities..." Go Jimmy, Go!!

[Surya Gayatri]

34. "Struggle for civil rights not over!"--Carter

Only have to recall the faces of those victims of Katrina in LA, MI & AL!!!

[CottonBear]

35. OMG! "We only have to remember the color of the faces in AL,MS, LA"

"Those devastated by Katrina do not have same opportunities as all (other) Americans."

[rodeodance]

116. wonder if Jr was listening?

[TahitiNut]

67. This nation doesn't deserve as excellent a human being as Jimmy.

He's so far and away head and shoulders better than ANY ex-President in our history it's staggering. It's as though the Presidency itself is dwarfed by his latter accomplishments. I often think the measure of a person is in what they are able to RISE ABOVE ... good or bad. Jimmy Carter has risen above the Presidency itself. Awesome.

[Skidmore]

26. "Greatest leader my nation ever produced."

[JudyM]

66. "including Washington and Lincoln" - very pointed statement to show

the conservatives (and reassure the rest of us) what's really important: moral leadership! I thought that was stunning - both his content and the delivery.

[helderheid]

29. KATRINA

[Jeanette in FL]

31. Now he is hitting on the Katrina debacle

[bliss_eternal]

39. Jimmy kicked much ass--

:yourock:

[BlacknBlue in Red NC]

47. He tried for the joke, and it bombed. Good. Referring to Poppy,

not Jimmy, who was outstanding.

[Sydnie]

32. Body slammed - Katrina!!!!!

thank you again Jimmy!

[qanda]

33. I'm surprised Bush hasn't run off the stage yet

Good thing his mommy isn't there.

[Rose Siding]

36. Oh shit, he's tagged 'em for Katrina's revelation of prejudice

[CottonBear]

50. Those devastated by Katrina don't have same opportunities as all Americans

He said that after reminding us of the color of many of the Katrina victims. Thank you President Carter. :)

[fooj]

99. A true leader...

Peace.

[rodeodance]

129. and Fema $ run out tomorrow AGAIN for those in hotels!

[cyberpj]

37. WHAT can Bush Sr. possibly say?

[bliss_eternal]

42. First words out of his mouth--bigoted!

what an asshat...

[cyberpj]

53. habits are hard to break - he's very nervous if you ask me. jokes or not.

[CottonBear]

55. He's super-uncomfortable. Didn't bring Barbara I notice. n/t

[cyberpj]

62. Anyone who missed it all - I'm betting cspan re-airs this tonight.

[Midnight Rambler]

38. Dim Son doesn't look happy

Looking like the spoiled child he is. He knows he's sitting behind a greater man, no doubt.

[Greeby]

40. *sniff* Now you've done it, Jimmy

:cry:

[Pirate Smile]

41. What did he say about Alabama and his getting elected?

I missed that line.

[Sydnie]

43. His grocery scanning moment revisited! Poppa blivet

Is such an ASS!!!!

[Rose Siding]

44. 41 just admitted to never having been around African Americans

creep. going for the laughs at the funeral. SICKO

[bliss_eternal]

52. Couldn't the commentators start talking now?

This is foul...no one needs to hear this. If HE was around then, he wouldn't have let MLK out of jail--evil bastard.

[tridim]

61. I assume the people who bloviated about Wellstone's funeral

Will be all over Poppy for going for laughs.

[rodeodance]

127. well, ..... he had the opportunity but not the will.

[Jeanette in FL]

46. Poppy says he has never seen anything like this in his life

he comes from a conservative church. I can just hear the right compare this funeral to Wellstone's.

[bliss_eternal]

58. Being interracially married, the difference in funerals

is jarring. I was really shocked. They barely cry or express any emotions.

[CornField]

64. who?

[Misunderestimator]

48. Bush Sr's humor is falling flat... and inappropriate.

[greenbriar]

49. oh my gawd...what a HICK

bush is

both of them

[JerseygirlCT]

51. He's nearly as evil, I know

but at least Bush sr. has a grace in speaking that his son so lacks. Perhaps he's just a better actor.

He acknowledged Lowrey's knock-down, made fun of himself... no way that smirking little monkey would have been able to do that.

[Sydnie]

63. Chimpy would have had to meet with any of them to have a funny

story to tell. No experience, no story. His loss!

Wait til Big Dawg comes on. I bet he has some stories to tell too!

[Surya Gayatri]

84. Screaming welcome for Clinton! Amazing!

[NightOwwl]

54. Is Chimpy going to speak?

If so, I need to prepare my barf bag.

[CornField]

56. Already did

I think it's back in the first thread -- nothing spactacular. Sounded like a campaign speech.

[DURHAM D]

60. He spoke at the beginning. Hope they don't give him three

minutes for rebuttal.

[BlacknBlue in Red NC]

57. Dignity, grace, not apparent in Poppy. Not a surprise.

[bettyellen]

59. wtf is poppy doing? a fucking stand up routine? how embarrassing.

i'm glad i caught a little bit of carter.

[bliss_eternal]

65. Thank GAWD it's over!!!

what a 'tard!

[malaise]

Here comes Big Dog - what a reception

well he's at home here.

[CottonBear]

76. That was quick. Thank goodness, the big dawg's up! Crowd goes wild! n/t

[DURHAM D]

68. His grammar - "when they seen this movie ..." n/t

[fooj]

69. Go Big Dog!

Peace.

[Misunderestimator]

70. Oh yeah!!! Thunderous Cheers for Bill!

[JudyM]

73. and Hillary!

[Sydnie]

78. Even the CHOIR stood and applauded!

Woot!

[tridim]

87. He's a rock star

What was monkey boy's applause like? I missed it.

[Misunderestimator]

96. wrong spot

[cyberpj]

71. Bill and Hillary will speak together!?

[cyberpj]

80. Big big Ovation for them.

[peacetalksforall]

72. God brought her home and gave we political concerned citizens a

fabulous gift - beautiful, brilliant people paying inspring tribute with VERY POINTED political slams at what is really going on and being done to all of us.

[helderheid]

74. WOW!!! LISTEN TO THE CHEERING FOR BILL AND HILLARY!

[bliss_eternal]

91. The African American community felt embraced by Bill

no wonder at all he got that reception!

[bliss_eternal]

75. My President...

I'm SO GLAD Clinton is speaking... They can't stop cheering! OMG!

[Jeanette in FL]

77. Clinton's together

getting a wild and rousing standing ovation. Yeah. He is trying to get them to settle.

[spuddonna]

79. Clintons are going to speak together! n/t

[cyberpj]

93. MY FORMER PRESIDENT GETS A HUGE CHEER

[Lochloosa]

81. The Big Dog is up

[CottonBear]

92. Crowd keeps cheering! Bill looks great! Hillary looks proud of him. n/t

[NightOwwl]

82. CLINTON on now!

Oh...this is going to be good.

[Greeby]

83. The Honourable William Jefferson and Hillary Rodham Clinton

Listen to em cheer :patriot:

[jane_pippin]

85. Listen to the love for Bill!!

I finally got a c-span stream going--this is amazing.

[rodeodance]

86. Whow the Clintons just showed up the Bushsies with the standing ovatation.

[rodeodance]

95. te he--Bill would LOVE to say ..with my Future wife. the President!

[Pithy Cherub]

88. What an ovation for President Clinton!

America's first Black President!

[bliss_eternal]

109. That's right!

;)

[Blue_Roses]

89. WOW! Look at the response Clinton is getting!

:wow:

[chat_noir]

90. Wow! What a reception the Clintons are getting!

[rodeodance]

104. and the ovation went on and on.......

[JerseygirlCT]

94. What did someone just yell?

I couldn't hear it.

[helderheid]

97. me either! WHAT WAS THAT??

[tgnyc]

100. Something about the next president being on the stage.

[JerseygirlCT]

108. Ah! thanks nt

[CornField]

98. Did you hear that?

Someone shouted "not my president!" or "You're my president!"

[helderheid]

101. WOW!!!!

[speedoo]

They spoke for me!!!!

Indeed.

[JerseygirlCT]

110. Love it! nt

[Misunderestimator]

102. "with my President..."[nothing].. "and my former Presidents" [cheering]

[spuddonna]

106. Is old * grinding his jaw yet? n/t

[Misunderestimator]

117. He's squirming in his chair.

[JudyM]

103. OMG how excellent: Bill happy to be here with the future president....

Hey! What a perfect delivery!

Somebody's gotta post the video for this part so all DUers can revel in it!

[CottonBear]

105. Bush and Laura look like they might run away.

Clinton just called him "my president" and the crowd was mostly silent.

[rodeodance]

111. they should. few would miss them. -after all, it was an afterthought for

Jr to attend the funeral.

[chat_noir]

107. what is "Frozen Chosen"?

[carolinalady]

112. a reference to the somewhat staunch attitude of an Episcopalian

I myself being one as well.

[JerseygirlCT]

114. I suspect that's a joke playing on the rep

of Episcopalians.

We're thought to be a rather reserved lot.

[CottonBear]

120. Presbyterians are pretty stiff and unemotional as well. n/t

[DURHAM D]

115. White eastern boy without humor or generosity. n/t

[Staph]

118. Frozen chosen are

Episcopalians -- emotionally frozen.

[speedoo]

119. probably referring to a white man who's clueless...

because he (stupid Poppy) was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.

[bliss_eternal]

123. A dry individual--

who was 'chosen' to lead his people...

[CornField]

113. BC: "We're here to honor a person."

Don't forget that there is a woman in this box... not just an icon or a symbol... a woman.

[rodeodance]

121. Clinton talks from the heart about Loretta's work in discrimination.

[CottonBear]

126. Coretta! Hee, hee! n/t

[Blue_Roses]

128. I think that is so important to remember

Her children are sitting there and it's not a sideshow or a time for politics

[CornField]

122. NEW THREAD 5

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x348124

[CottonBear]

124. Can we have a new thread please Corn Field? Esp. for dialup users. n/t

[spuddonna]

125. "This is a woman... not just a movement..."

Clinton:"I wonder what the King children are thinking?... Are they thinking what I thought at my mother's funeral? Are they remembering their mom reading them Bible stories? Are they thinking about what she told them when their Daddy died"

"You should pray for them and support them..." Talking about how after Martin died, she could have gone home, and stopped working as a champion of civil rights... God bless him!

[maddezmom]
