QUOTE(Steff @ Feb 8, 2006 -> 09:47 AM) Could he have sighted personal safety concerns as a reason for not attending..? Moot, but I'm just curious. Meaning..."It's not safe around all those people?"

Bush 41's speech was pretty funny too. At one point he lost his place or a page and said, " It must be your lucky day, I think I lost a page." Most of the speakers were light-hearted and fun. I would want the same at my funeral.

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Feb 8, 2006 -> 09:27 AM) I didn't watch it, but I didn't hear that that specific line got Carter a long cheer. So I take my dealy back about the cheer. Seems like an odd applause line though. I will say this, I'm surprised at how many people seem surprised that you get firebrands giving politically minded speeches at the funeral of a balls to the wall committed activist. Like Coretta Scott King and like Paul Wellstone before her, when activists die, their memorials tend to be like their lives previous, fighting the causes they fought for. Does that mean grandstanding is going to happen? Of course. Does that make it appropriate? No. But it does make it expected. It was an odd applause line, but the whole thing got odder and odder (is that a word?) as it went on. Yes, it should have been expected. Still sad, though. Another thing, when Bush was introduced the man that introduced him went on for a little while: "I ask you to give a warm welcome..." It seemed longer than normal and like he was begging them to not boo and make fools of themselves. Just MHO.

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Feb 8, 2006 -> 08:43 AM) What Jimmy Carter said didn't get a two minute cheer. What the minister said, was in my view, wholly inappropriate. Although what our former President said wasn't necessarily 100% innocent. There's a big difference from mentioning the wiretapping that the Kings faced (which was factual) and basically calling the President a "weapon of misdirection" to his face at the funeral (which is opinion). Did you watch, Rex? No, I didn't time it, but it most certainly got a longer than average ovation. I watched and in my honest opinion, I believe the comment about wire tappings and the stuff about New Orleans was put in there for one reason. He delivered it in a "National Convention" sort of way - not a "Eulogy" sort of way.

Damnit! I miss all the good stuf! "How come I always get a warped one?"

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Feb 7, 2006 -> 06:53 PM) So Jimmy Carter mentioning that the Kings were illegally wiretapped in the 1960s is now considered Bush bashing? I would think it more JFK bashing. Not when it got a rousing 2 minute cheer. I watched the funeral live. Many of the speakers were playing to the crowd like a rock concert.

QUOTE(Steff @ Feb 7, 2006 -> 04:55 PM) Ahhh.. Regan's funeral.. that was a good thread. Ummmm...I have the right to remain silent, right?
