I guess my two '04 Hondas are broke, then.

I really enjoyed watching Gore with his jaw clinched and his eyes bulging while his neck swelled and quivered, during George W. Bush's eulogy. He looked like his head was going to explode.

good thing it didn't the fecal contamination would have been of biblical proportions.

The video can be seen at msnbc.com. The speech was really great, and GWB performed it very well. Very touching.

The Clintons seem hell bent on disgracing themselves wherever they go and whatever they do though...

The funeral was very nice, touching eulogy by Bush.

Too bad the Clintons wanted to sleep rather than watch.

CSPAN had a constant feed of the casket sitting in the Capitol Rotunda. I watched the changing of the guard last night. Very moving ceremony. All the movements were silent count and pinpoint precision. Considering these men were thrown together from the 5 branches of the service and likely had less than a few days to practice it was all the more impressive.

I did not mean to insunuate that. They were indeed Honor Guard, not ordinary troops. From my experience the different branches don't interact that much in parade details. There may indeed be a dedicated multi-branch detail stationed in Washington. It was still a very impressive display.

Whatcha smoking, Tilt?

Just read the whole thing; sure didn't see what you saw.

Enlighten us with a few quotes from the text that bothered you.

Actually watched as much as I could during lunch. Very moving when Nancy turned and waved at the top of the steps entering AF1.

I gotta agree, I saw nothing partisan in the speech, well written, and a fitting eulogy.

I thought the funeral was awsome to see. Very very dignified.

Why did George W. Bush speak from the pulpit over the coffin when everyone else spoke from the podium next to it?

I could only listen to the speaches on the radio, and they where very nice. I really liked Thatcher's remarks as well as both Bush Sr and Jr's words. Very moving.

I hope to get to see these on TV.
