Official * eulogy thread.

[trof]

Soon to come.
Comments here?

[Fenris]

1. Barbara Walters...oh, wait, Maggie Thatcher...is speaking now.

[KharmaTrain]

2. Wake Up Maggie!!

Sheesh...now I know who to put towards the top of my ghoul pool to replace the Gimper.

[samhonk]

43. Stand down, Margaret

I see no joy, I see only sorrow
I see no chance of your bright new tomorrow, so
Stand down Margaret, stand down, please
Stand down Margaret

- the English Beat

That song might have been the best thing to come of her reign.

[KharmaTrain]

71. How About 6 Months In A Leaky Boat...

That got Maggie & The BBC in a snit.

She looks like the Altered Image puppet of her in the 80's...sheesh. And Raygun couldn't have looked any better! :grin:

[samhonk]

120. Do you mean Spitting Image?

That show was hysterical. I found out about it having heard their song "I've Never Met a Nice South African" on Dr. Demento.

[Peachhead22]

188. The Fletcher Memorial Home

"And they can appear to themselves every day
On closed circuit T.V.
To make sure they're still real.
It's the only connection they feel.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, Reagan and Haig,
Mr. Begin and friend, Mrs. Thatcher, and Paisly,
"Hello Maggie!"
Mr. Brezhnev and party.
"Who's the bald chap?"
The ghost of McCarthy,
The memories of Nixon.
"Goodbye!"
And now, adding color, a group of anonymous latin-
American Meat packing glitterati."

--Pink Floyd. "The Fletcher Memorial Home"

[soup]

3. thanks, trof

wondered if there was going to be a *GD funeral thread.

*GD = General Discussion, of course.

[AlGore-08.com]

4. Margaret Thatcher's taped eulogy playing now

[gauguin57]

8. oh cripes.

Ronald Reagan "won the Cold War"? Keep dreaming, Maggie! Great move seating her next to Mikhail Gorbachev. One last little goose to the Russians from the Reagan family? If it weren't for Gorbachev, Reagan wouldn't have the reputation he has. If any one man ended the Cold War, it was Gorbachev. He should be in the FRONT ROW!

And Patty Davis needs to cut her hair. Nyah nyah nyah.

[Fenris]

10. Didn't you hear Maggie? He's the "GREAT LIBERATOR"!

:puke:

[DenverDem]

14. The great liberator of billions of dollars of The People's money

for his power elite overlords.

[qwertyMike]

23. This from the woman who

Let the Dictator Pinochet stay at her house while fighting extraditiion from th UK.
"A great friend of mine"

Only good thing she did was give rise to the Sex Pistols. 'Thatcher's Children' that deprived generation was called.

[muriel_volestrangler]

34. I must protest

The Sex Pistols were before Thatcher ever came to power. No, you can't give her the credit for British punk.

"Thatcher's Children" are the British Generation X - apathetic, selfish, underachieving. I'm in the top of that age bracket myself.

[LibLabUK]

152. Maggie Thatcher...

the milk snatcher!

Hehe...

The day she finally resigned the 1200 kids in my school let off one hell of a cheer after the headmaster announced it on the PA.

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

5. I absolutely despise this woman. I hope she dies screaming

and rots in hell.

[frank frankly]

7. LOL

ouch!

[underpants]

6. I'm "taping" it- I wonder how W is going to latch onto Reagan

without completely dissing his own father in front of everyone. If he doesn't start it today (this IS a hugely important political speech) he has to do it soon and get it going and Poppa Bush has to sit there as his own son praises his "Political father".

[trof]

9. The Reagans did not treat the Bushes well.

Never invited the VP and Second Lady to the White House.
Nancy hated them.

[gauguin57]

13. Wow ...

I wish someone would tape a eulogy at MY funeral that was complete fantasy, like Maggie's! My bio could use some sprucing up!!!

"The kind people have a wonderful dream / Margaret on the guillotine."
-- Morrissey

[Fenris]

15. "When will you die?"

;)

[CBHagman]

190. I think we all need to get Morrissey, Richard Thompson, and Hitchens...

...and have a nice, long post-mortem vilification session. I include Hitchens because he exemplifies the Alice Roosevelt Longworth maxim "If you have nothing nice to say about anybody, come and sit by me."

And that Maggie Thatcher woman -- is she Hyacinth Bucket or what? Pretty fancy-schmancy for a grocer's daughter. Too good for us, huh, you old hypocrite.

[underpants]

17. That's not what Jim Baker was saying on the Today Show this morning

I only caught a few seconds of it but there sat Baker saying that Bush1 supported all of Regan's programs and they were great friends. It was odd because I have read just yesterday that they never invited the Bushes to dinner in the residence and never thanked them for gifts. The wives were the point on this one-Hollywood blueblood elite vs. Eastern (New England) blueblood elite.

[fob]

156. Finally! The origins of East Coast v. West Coast fued explained!

nt

[trof]

11. Maggie "Over The Top" Thatcher.

Good God.

[Fenris]

12. Oh, Jesus Christ, Mulroney's up...

[gauguin57]

16. chimpy looks

like a little boy, bored in school.

[Fenris]

18. I'd be bored too, if I had to listen to Maggie and Brian speak.

[RoundRockD]

20. Was Bill Clinton sleeping? n/t

[Fenris]

25. He was probably trying not to snicker at all of the lies

[Spazito]

With Mulroney, you can trust what he says as much as you can trust...

bush, Mulroney never met a lie he didn't embrace! I despise the man and everything he stands for!

[jeff30997]

58. You can say that again!!!

[JohnLocke]

19. This is putrid.

Now they're saying that Reagan was beloved throughout the world and enters history as a man who will be remembered as great forever. BULLCRAP! Ask some people in El Salvador or Nicaragua what they think of Reagan. :eyes:

[gauguin57]

21. sooooo ...

I don't get my Entertainment Weekly today because there's no mail service, AND I have to listen to lies on television, at this funeral?

Day of Mourning, indeed!

[Fenris]

22. "Hi, I am reviled in my home country, and so is your late leader."

He speaks like a bloody priest. Shut it, Brian!

[qwertyMike]

27. So is Thatcher

[Neshanic]

24. Stop speaking Frenchy! Chimpy gets mad.

[gauguin57]

26. poppy's up to bat

and he sounds like a whining doofus compared to Brian and Mags.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

Shades of Dana Carvey

MKJ

[Fenris]

Hey, he just insulted FDR! Way to go, fuckwit!

[WI_DEM]

38. what did he say about FDR?

hell, even the gipper voted for FDR four times.

[AlGore-08.com]

162. He said it would take a 100 years to appreciate FDR - -

- - but Raygun is appreciated right now. Why the difference?

That was the opening of his eulogy... a definate :wtf: moment.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

28. Uh Oh, Mulroney just spoke French

He said,"Au revoir", has been added to GWB's enemy list. MKJ

[hlthe2b]

29. Mulroney sure has a soothing voice..... I think he is hypnotizing ....

I understand what an ass he is, and perhaps his speaking quality is what made him such a good liar, but geez, I could at least stand to listen to him......

[mopaul]

30. GIPPER GIPPER GIPPERGIPPER GIPPER GIPPER

FINALLY, george sr., the man who tried hard to kill reagan, says win one for the gipper officially.

[Neshanic]

31. Somebody should stand up and say "Bettlejuice!" now.

[AlGore-08.com]

32. "City on the Hill" is obviously the phrase they've picked to invoke Raygun

Somebody should keep track of how many times Commander Bunnypants uses it from now until the election...

[frank frankly]

If you don't go to church and don't watch tv, then it seems really weird.

there's a dude in purple robes.

suits and ties and rich jerks.

little abc logo.

and LIES. LIES. LIES.

[mopaul]

33. the vampire weeps, speaking of his failed assasination attempt

[hlthe2b]

35. Poppy's gotten his emotional halt in... with choked tears and alll

Rove is applauding "WELL DONE!"

[Fenris]

36. Ruh-roh, Poppy's breaking up.

How many times do we have to hear that "hope you're all Republican" story?

[Name removed]

37. Deleted message

Message removed by moderator. Click here to review the message board rules.

[gauguin57]

40. chimpy's up!

goody goody

[Fenris]

42. Optimism is a Republican word for "cheery lying"

Cunt.

[WI_DEM]

46. welcome to a forum which speaks the truth for a change

Looking forward to your boy going down in November--what a royal screwup the Chimp has been.

[L.A.dweller]

55. We are listening to lies

lies and more lies. Optimism my ass.

[elperromagico]

57. Bye bye now.

:hi:

[lancdem]

65. It's hard to be optimisitc

when all you get from the current administration is lies. Sorry.

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

91. What the hell are you doing here?

[elperromagico]

94. Check the profile.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=user_profiles&u_id=145501

[markses]

148. Heart "fealt," eh?

Typical imbecile.

[mopaul]

39. APEMAN IS UP

[DavidAllen91]

Funny to think a Chimp won out over a Stick.

[lancdem]

75. At least that stick had a brain

[nostamj]

149. uh, the chimp didn't "win"

he lost. popular vote by 500,000+

and stole FL with this brother's help (and then his poopy with the SCOTUS)

feh!

[Neshanic]

41. Uh oh! Here comes Mr Personality himself.

[gauguin57]

45. whoa ....

I think Chimpy's getting Botox. He was lookin' pretty old there for a while, and he actually looks good. Maybe he was out tannin' in Savannah instead of working like he was supposed to.

Once again, a thoroughly uninspired speech. His speechwriters stink!

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

50. Swaying at the podium

MKJ

[gulfcoastliberal]

44. Speaking slowly, forming words, speak, georgie, speak

[TheCentepedeShoes]

62. He has to use his finger

and that slows him down.

[ThirdWheelLegend]

47. I have a problem, I turned it on "It has been 10 years...."

and then I powered off my TV.

I CANNOT watch or hear that asshat 'speak'.

Am I going to be ok?

TWL

[AlGore-08.com]

48. He PRACTICED this one, didn't he?

So far, no malapropisms or mispronuciations.

Absolutely no content so far, but you can't have everything...

[Neshanic]

54. Staff in Chapel praying....one more sentence....good...next...

[cardlaw]

61. He may have practiced,

but he has absolutely no knack for phrasing. The speech could be much more emotionally compelling if he would stop being so choppy.

[scarletwoman]

49. Why the hell is * speaking from the PULPIT?!?!

Everyone else used the podium below. Wtf, is this more of chimpy thinking he is ordained by god? Jeebus....

sw

[Fenris]

53. Becaue he's Jesus, remember?

[scarletwoman]

63. Nope. He's the Antichrist, DEFINITELY! (n/t)

[jackstraw45]

59. probably for some techno reason...earpiece, prompter....

My guess.

What a horrible man.

[LittleApple81]

68. Nancy must be happy they didn't put the teleprompters on RR's coffin.

Thank God for small favors, hmmm.

[LittleApple81]

82. SORRY. I wanted to bear witness to * stupidity but I CAN'T. Thanks to

all of you for reporting. Bye.

[OKNancy]

51. Typical...

placed himself higher up than the rest of the lowly speakers.
God...it makes me actully like GHWBush. At least he can speak like a human.

[eleny]

56. maybe that's where the string is...

to let the baloons go

[truth2power]

52. Why is chimpy speaking from the pulpit when all the others

spoke at the lectern? Maybe this is protocol...don't know.

edit> scarletwoman beat me to it.

[gauguin57]

69. is hinckley watching?

Maybe he's calling Jodie Foster, telling her, "Well, he's finally dead. NOW will you go out with me"?

[Carolina]

179. ROFLMAO

:party:

[Fenris]

60. "All-American Good-Guy"? Did he see "The Killers"?

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

80. Today, on Biography, GWB does Reagan

MKJ

[mopaul]

64. he hated bigotry........................fuck you w...........n/t

[Fenris]

67. Shut up you Welfare Queen!

:D

[AlGore-08.com]

66. Yes, Smirk's praising Raygun's ability to go on vacation

Definately something that Smirk genuinely admired in Raygun, I'm sure

[LittleApple81]

74. God...mentioned as many times as possible. But the smirk is

still there.

[gulfcoastliberal]

70. Ha ha, he said Ronnie hated bigotry & prejudice

Funny, I thought Ronnie emabraced those qualities with his stumping in Phil, Mississippi where he forcefully spoke for "state's rights". As in rolling back integration and eliminating civil rights.

[SCDem]

180. Didn't he also support apartheid?

[Hepburn]

72. I am gonna puke.....

......this is total bullshit. I guess it is true: Never say something unkind about the dead. But to fucking LIE about them? What a load of SHIT!

What is the deal with quoting Robert Cummings? Like this means something???

[Fenris]

73. Hee hee. Double-You said "Cummings"

/juvenile:D

[troublemaker]

76. Idiot! The accent is supposed to be on "you"

Bush version:

"What, you don't like my acting EITHER?"

[Hepburn]

78. LOL....

.....W ain't no Reagan - shit he cannot even read the lines AND find his mark.

[jackstraw45]

79. Such a funny "moran" this guy is....

The guy who wrote the speech is probably sweating somewhere.

[trof]

77. OMG. Emergency Alert Test.

The screen just went green and our local NBC affiliate broadcast the monthly Emergency Alert Test.
UNBELIEVABLE!

Is this a sign from Above?
;-)

[gauguin57]

85. the clintons do look a bit sleepy

Maybe they feel a touch of narcolepsy coming on when they have to listen to lies, lies, lies, lies, lies.

[lancdem]

106. They look somber

and maybe a little bored with Chimpy's speech (no kidding).

[Hepburn]

90. Isn't something BIG suppose to happen today?

LOL, maybe that was it?

[frank frankly]

81. i tune in for one second and hear FUBAR say reagan was "tanned"

somewhere chris matthews just screamed in ecstacy.

:puke:

[AlGore-08.com]

He also praised Rayguns manly fashion sense

Was he speaking in the language of cranes? </semi-obscure reference>

[Neshanic]

83. He's starting to loose concentration.....he's in stump mode

[digno dave]

84. "outside of a horse"???

"There's nothing better for the inside of a man than the outside of a horse"

Huh???

[Hepburn]

WTF was that?

I thought I had just heard that wrong...until you posted this. Sheesh!

[sofa king]

183. Now there's one I would have paid good money to see him screw up.

"There's nothing better for the outside of a man than the inside of a horse."

He's had that damned smirk all morning long.

[L.A.dweller]

86. Bush looks so humble and

somber. NOT.

That god damn smirk on his face.

[frank frankly]

87. did he just say "hoax" instead of hope, twice?

reagan's economic reform.

:puke:

[gauguin57]

96. I think it's very rude

to Gorbachev to be saying all these nasty things about Russia. He ended the Cold War, and everyone is insulting his country.

Shove it, chimpus.

[PA Democrat]

88. Deplorable speaking style more pronounced than ever

3 or 4 words....long pause....3 or 4 more words.... long pause. The pauses are sometimes so unnatural in their placement as to detract from the meaning of the sentence.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

LOL, allowed to only read 4 or 5 words at a time.

MKJ

[mopaul]

89. zzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZ

[Fenris]

92. HAHAHAHAHA! Gulags, secret labor meetings...

This is too much!

[maxpower]

93. Smirk

Chimpy cannot take the smirk off his face. After every sentence he has that smirk. It's like he's proud that he could complete a full sentence, just like a big boy.

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

111. That is EXACTLY what I thought!

He looks out as if to say "HEY! I said that sentence REAL GOOD!"

[frank frankly]

95. talking about prisons and cameras showing rummy and generals. HA!!!

this is such crap that i am laughing.

laugh or cry.

reagan with a hammer, bringing down the wall, blow by blow.

HA hA ha HAHA HA

(crazy laughter)

[Neshanic]

100. Rummy was on screen when he was doing the "evil" shtick.

[texas is the reason]

97. clinton is falling asleep on *!!! i love it!!

[hlthe2b]

104. How long is Bush* going to drone on? WAYYYY longer than any other....

[trof]

98. Actually doing better than I thought.

He must have REALLY practiced this one.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

112. This was the BIG homework assignment...

Been working on it for a week. MKJ

[frank frankly]

99. "he showed us how a man should be"

this is insane.

"never know to slight others."

REAGAN = JESUS

how fucking funny!!!

[gauguin57]

103. patty!

you can't hide behind that hair! And your ROOTS ARE SHOWING on international TV!

[hlthe2b]

113. Patty's a dem.... let's leave her alone, ok?

But I do agree she'd look better with less hair...

[jackstraw45]

105. So funny to hear the CHIMP describe the COMPLETE opposite of himself

Bush* slights EVERYONE around him.

Shows kindness to NO ONE.

[Fenris]

101. That child who asked for federal assistance to clean his room:

George W. Bush

[Hepburn]

What is with the fucking cocktail suit Barbara Bush is wearing?

I just noticed that. Wow, is that out of place!! A sea of black dotted by a sparkler. Weird!

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

102. He FINALLY got a laugh

and by the way, I have caught Prince Charles with eyes fully closed, woman in big black hat next to him asleep, both Clintons asleep and Cheney looks in pain.

[Fenris]

107. That woman in the gargantuan hat is Maggie Thatcher.

[gauguin57]

114. what a bunch of white faces!

Looks like a white supremacist wax museum in that place.

[L.A.dweller]

130. Reminds me of a Bob Hope dinner

[gauguin57]

bob hope dinner ....

HAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ROFLMAO

[mopaul]

108. who's running the fucking government right now?.......n/t

[scarletwoman]

109. * is talking about his fantasy vision of HIMSELF.

All the same keywords: "Strong" "Steadfast" "Defender of Liberty" "Fighting evil" -- all the same crap that * wants people to think that HE does. It's utterly shamelss!

sw

[WI_DEM]

117. "Fighting Evil"

I'm sure Gorbi liked that one.

[frank frankly]

110. "big screen smile" "glint in irish eyes when he remembered"

"a man frightened by nothing"

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wow.

[eleny]

153. not hard when the mind is blank

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

115. Ok let's just say it right here

no matter what the political persuasion of anyone in the room, they are ALL FUCKING BORED OUT OF THEIR SKULLS.

Did anyone catch Pickles just now? She looked pained, strained, leaning forward, as if "that's it, that's it, Chimp Boy, you got it, you're almost there"

[Fenris]

123. How could anyone NOT fall asleep. Mulroney's voice is like white noise.

[lancdem]

127. Evem the Repugs are tired of this Reagan-anza

after almost a week of nonstop coverage.

[mopaul]

116. oh yeah, you'll see him again alright, in fucking hell.......n/t

[gauguin57]

122. I'd like to praise Jesus ...

... that these fucking liars have finally shut their lying mouths!

[Edgewater_Joe]

118. How Many Mourners Are Dozing?

Here's who I counted so far ...

Bill
Hillary
Cheney
Raisa
Maggie
Prince Charles
Haig
Weinberger
Whoever's sitting behind Patti

... and that doesn't count everyone trying to stay interested, or Ron Jr.'s palpable disgust at having to listen to the Chimp.

Just ended. No applause. Count this another DUD for Dear Leader.

[cardlaw]

125. I'd hope

no one would clap at a funeral.

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

129. They didn't applaud for anyone I don't think...not appropriate

[russian33]

143. Who's Raisa?

[Edgewater_Joe]

164. Raisa Was A Mistake

I saw someone sitting next to Gorby -- or someone that looked like Gorby -- and goofed. My bad.

The lady in the massive headdress was the Iron Lady catching a few more Z's couresy of Dubya's SnEulogy.

[russian33]

173. I was gonna say, I could've sworn she died...

[playahata1]

186. Gorbachev's WIFE.

n/t

[playahata1]

185. I bet Ron, Jr., would love nothing better than to go up and

strangle the SOB, if only on general principles.

[UTUSN]

119. **********WTF*****"One from Plains, and One from Houston"???

What was THAT???!!!! He cites CARTER and Poppy about something or other and deliberates omits CLINTON and FORD? What did the writers WRITE?

[comsymp]

189. Caught that on the radio while at lunch-

context was the 80 election and something to the effect of the good men reagan beat in that election, one from plains and one from houston.

[Neshanic]

121. When "we" see him again, not so fast monkeyboy.

[mopaul]

124. BATTLEHYMOFTHERUPUBLIC....his truth is marching on

[Hepburn]

131. <GAG>

This freaking funeral is like a circus. And....the elephant shit seems to be all over the fucking place.

[AlGore-08.com]

133. They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps

eom

[Career Prole]

126. "...and that grave expression crept over his face"...

Shrubbadub, it's been there for nearly a week now...pay attention!

[Neshanic]

Hollywood over the top? Repugs know how to milk a funeral.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

137. Wow, Cecil B DeMille and Busby Berkley can't touch this

The mother of all state funerals...MKJ

[Neshanic]

159. You said it brother. When is the sychronized swimming?

[mopaul]

128. boy oh BOY I gotta PEE....................................................

[gauguin57]

132. Nancy and Merv

Will Merv Griffin now become Nancy's official escort? (The Widder Nancy needs a date for various functions, and Merv has needed a new beard since Eva Gabor died)!!!!!!

[Hepburn]

134. Get outa my head!

I was thinking the same exact thing!

[gauguin57]

136. I think the question of nancy's future

needs a separate thread. So I've started one.

What's next for Nance?

[WI_DEM]

135. I believe so

[gauguin57]

138. "Reagan had no dark side ..."

"no scary hidden agenda."

UNLIKE THE CURRENT F-ING ADMINISTRATION!!!!!!!!!!

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

141. "Even his opponents liked him..."

See above. MKJ

[AlGore-08.com]

142. "We begin the bombing in five minutes! Ha-ha!"

Yeah, obviously no dark side there...

[Neshanic]

139. "No scary hidden agenda"...wow that's a relief!

[UTUSN]

177. Lot's of Ironic Slams in This Service n/t

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

140. I have republican friends

who are sick to death of the reagan coverage. People who frigging voted for him are PRAYING for it to be over soon or for someone to strike them deaf.

And an acquaintance of mine who voted for raygun TWICE went OFF on nancy the other day, criticizing her for putting her cheek to the coffin. I was gobsmacked.

I think this constant wall to wall coverage is having the opposite effect....people of all kinds are up to their eyeballs in it and sick of it.

Funny how it never occurs to them to turn off their frigging TVs. I haven't watched any of it since last Saturday when his death was announced, until today to see chimp boy smirk his way through a eulogy.

[Neshanic]

144. Supplyside Jesus had a visit with Danforth last night

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

145. Who's this guy?

He's talking about the darkness that is surrounding us now. Pretty appropriate in my opinion. And accurate.

[AlGore-08.com]

151. Minister is Danforth, former Rep Senator from Missouri

eom

[Hepburn]

163. Must be a Presbytarian...

....he used "debts" and "debtors" in the Lord's Prayer. I used to be one of those myself....until I learned better.

[Carolina]

184. patron saint of Clarence

'Slappy' Thomas.

[jeff30997]

146. Thanks to DU i don't have to watch that crap on tv...

And instead of being angry i'm actually smiling because of all the funny comments. :)

[Neshanic]

147. DING DING! 911 is mentioned. Tell em what they won Johnny.

[LittleApple81]

150. I left the TV on, turned sound off. WHY SO MANY MAINSTREAM RELIGIOUS

priests, rabbis, pastors and whatever DARE TALK WELL OF THAT CRIMINAL???? That is why I cannot believe in ANY religion created by men.

Hypocrites, Oligarchy protectors, criminally complicit....

[jeff30997]

155. Tell me about it.

Religion stinks.

[Neshanic]

154. Intermission....smoke em ya got em. Amazing grace sung

[gauguin57]

157. hey poppy ...

... time for a quick rehearsal of your parachute jump

[jeff30997]

160. Will the parachute open?

:evilgrin:

[gauguin57]

166. if not, we have

Ronan Tynan right nearby to sing at your funeral.

[LittleApple81]

161. I asked MoPaul to create a cartoon with poppy and mommy flying...

with mommy in huge billowing skirts as a parachute instead of an actual parachute. But actually, that white outfit might be better!

[jeff30997]

165. No,just the undies.They're big enough!

:evilgrin:

[LittleApple81]

168. LOL!

[Hepburn]

158. Amazing Grace...

...a song I used to sing during the VN protest years. It is turning my stomach to hear it sung with the military band background at that asshole's funeral. That finally made me kill the sound on the TV. Disgusting.

:puke:

[AlGore-08.com]

169. I helped make a memorial video last month that used Amazing Grace

as the music track. We used James Galway's recording. Very understated and mush more compelling, IMNSHO.

[Neshanic]

167. Where is Betty Bowers in the audience?

170. Any shots of the family reacting to the Boy King's eulogy?

Inquiring cube rats want to know.

171. Tons.

They look pretty much like any family at any funeral - - a cross between burnt out and stunned.

172. I repeat: WHY SO MANY MAINSTREAM RELIGION REPRESENTATIVES

eulogizing a criminal?????
How do priests, rabbis, pastors and whatever DARE TALK WELL OF THAT CRIMINAL???? That is why I cannot believe in ANY religion created by men.

Hypocrites, Oligarchy protectors, criminally complicit....

176. Covering all the bases -

Ronnie needs all the help he can get. Think of it as an ecclesiastical "dream team" pleading for mercy for his soul.

178. No, they were eulogizing him. Not praying for him to go to heaven.

They sounded like REAGAN GOING TO HEAVEN IS A GIVEN!!!!!

175. Thatcher Was Eloquent. Mulroney Was Poetic. Bush... Was Trite And Clichéd

Just as I expected he would be.

181. gotta say,

except for all the lying liars who spoke, and the fact that they wouldn't allow any Democrats to speak (when Reagan was famous for his penchant for trying to negotiate with the Dems) it was a very classy funeral.

182. Yes, even Smirk embarrassed himself significantly less than usual

If his eulogy had contained an atom of content, and if he finally cured himself of that bizarre phrasing of his, it could have been a good speech.

187. white supremacist wax museum

is now filing out of the church. Jack Kemp is laughing and joking ... looks like he's doing a Mick Jagger impression!
