Various pics from Reagan funeral

[ronnykmarshall]

Nancy and her children.



Note very large ears, Prince Charles in the house!



The REAL first couple.



Caroline Kennedy. She looks more and more like her mother.



All the former Presidents and wives and the current jack offs. Ford doesn't look very well.




W looking like a fucking idiot as usual.




Nancy Reagan following the coffin. She must be exhausted. She has held up quite well during this.

1. Just why is Babs wearing white? eom

[pagerbear]

3. Looks gray to me

I want to know why she's sleeping at the funeral!

6. Odd choice, isn't it? Thanks to ronnykmarshall for the views. n/t

28. To attract attention, to stand out in the crowd - so you can spot her

amid all the waves of dark fabric. Nancy herself did that, at one of the conventions, and I think, at one of the State of the Union addresses. It was much whispered during the Reagan era that Nancy's social secretary-types sent word around about what she'd be wearing to such-and-such an event, so that none of the other women would wear something conflicting or distracting, or heaven forbid - the same thing. Nancy used her Hollywood background to help stage things effectively. She was VERY savvy about this. And she made sure, as First Lady, that she stood out. VERY often it was because she was wearing either glaringly-bright red (an attention-getting color anyway) or white. And if you ever look at some of those old photos of such events, you'll note that everybody else around her, especially the women, were dressed in far more subtle tones and styles - so she would stand out.

When I worked at NBC, lots of our techies (the engineers, camera guys and soundmen, and field producers) would spend a LOT of time shuttling back and forth from Burbank to Santa Barbara, since Reagan spent so much of his presidency taking his long series of California vacations. And some of 'em would come back with stories about this, from having gotten close to a number of the White House staffers and accessory people, or the old Hollywood contingent that was very much a part of this scene.

So looks like the old bag barbara took a cue from that. Typical classless lowlife. That she would want to steal some attention from the grieving widow by wearing something bright and attention-getting. I guess she liked the effect it had when she test-drove it at Reagan's coffin in the Capitol building. WHAT a bitch. What a QUEEN BITCH. Just lowlife. It's NOT about YOU, bar. Hello?

Frankly, I was surprised that her snotnosed boy wasn't chewing gum during the funeral.

36. But her white, white, white hair is enough to make her stand out (n/T)!

[July]

39. White once, maybe a dumb mistake, white/light gray twice . . .

just being a bitch. (She was in white, including stockings, when visiting the casket yesterday.)

I'd love to see pictures of her at other funerals, to learn if that's a typical MO or just a dig at Nancy.

Note all the other babes around her, along with Reagan women, Thatcher, Cherie Blair, Tipper Gore all got the memo about black at funerals.

2. Thanks for posting these

4. <Big Old Al Gore Sigh>

and look at the picture off all the ex-presidents. Ford looks old, Carter does too and there are Bill and Hilary, older than they were in 1992 (remember?)but still so vital. I wonder how long before they are just a couple of old people the kids know nothing about?

[donhakman]

7. OMG

in the top 2nd pic Gore is next to Rove.

[Cheswick2.0]

23. Now that is just cruel

Why would they do that to the big guy? I hope he farted in roves general direction.

[lanparty]

38. Bill looks good ...

The worm is turning for Bushie. They need to get him out on the campaign trail in Arkansas, Missouri, central plains, etc...

[CatWoman]

5. You notice how Nancy's kids look more like her

they didn't get anything from their dad.

I feel so sorry for Nancy -- she looks so alone. So lost.

I hate to say this, but she is going to go soon.

I've noticed that in couples who have been together very long, as one dies the other follows soon after.

Hope I'm wrong, and I wish her a beautiful life.

[VelmaD]

10. I don't know...

you could be right but it depends on whether or not she finds some mission for the rest of her life. There has been some noise about her getting even more involved in pushing for stem-cell research and if she finds herself a crusade like that she may just get that "beautiful life". Personally I hope so...if would be nice if something good could come from all of this.

[pagerbear]

12. I wonder where Ron Jr.'s beard--I mean wife--is

[ronnykmarshall]

29. She's there.

She looks great.

[lancdem]

13. Patti is the spitting image of her mother especially

[goclark]

40. I am confused about the Davis name

Wasn't Nancy a Davis before she married Ronnie?
Why isn't Patti's name Patti Reagan or did she marry someone named Davis???

[supernova]

20. Was thinking the same

I hope she finds something to hold on to. But you're right about spouses following each other. My own dad died in Jan 95 and by July 96, mom was dead too.

She looked so exhausted leaving the cathedral. I'm sure the Reagans are ready for it to be over. The public part anyway.

[Cheswick2.0]

25. I hope she has a victory in the pursuit of Stem Cell research

I wish her the best in that and hope she finds peace and purpose.

[ronnykmarshall]

27. I hope she keeps on too.

She's had such a had time the last 10 years.

[calimary]

32. I noticed that, myself, CatWoman. They certainly have her haunted eyes.

I feel sorry for her, too. And I've wondered how long she has. I hope she lasts for awhile, especially with her new mission in her husband's name. And their blood line ends here, unless Ron Junior and his wife eventually have a kid. That dipshit Michael Reagan has kids, but neither Ron Junior nor Patty have them. In fact, if I'm not mistaken, Patty had her tubes tied years ago, to make sure she would NOT carry on the family bloodline, during her more rebellious stage. Something she's since written that she regrets having done. But so be it. Unfortunately, the bushes have multiplied like the AIDS virus.

8. I was surprised to see Ford because I heard in a news cast this week

That said he was too sick and would not be attending.

Thanks for the photo of the Real First Family.

[gauguin57]

11. the whole audience looks

like a white supremacist wax museum.

Someone else on the eulogy thread said it looked like a Bob Hope dinner.

yeah.

[robbedvoter]

9. Cheney in the first row and Poppy in the second? Therein lies

the problem about the war.

[LittleApple81]

14. Remember they said the PRESIDENTS??? at least they don't hide it

any more.

[yellowcanine]

15. Does the Big Dog look great or what? Jimmy looks pretty good also. The

Pubbie presidents, including the imposter, all look as if they are at death's door themselves.

[Ilsa]

16. So where is Michael Reagan?

Wednesday, they had him stashed in the back, didn't they? Only Nancy's two children were in the front row of seats.

[gauguin57]

18. michael and wife

were right next to Ron Jr. and wife, in the front row. They were just out of camera shot when they focused on Nancy.

[ronnykmarshall]

30. I watched some of this morning.

and there didn't seem the "subbing" of Michael as some people were saying. He was chatting with Ron and standing next to Patti.

[KoKo]

17. Kucinich was there. Cokie and her hubby. and lots of white guys. n/t

[Jabbery]

19. When does this madness end?

This is so pathetic. These fundamentalists think Reagan was the King of America or something. It's a sad comment on our nation. The world thinks so poorly of us already - now they are convinced we are truly idiots.

[Cheswick2.0]

26. What fundamentalists?

Not all republicans are religious much less fundamentalists. WTF is it with some people and their obssesion with religion bashing?
I am no fan of fundamentalism...but for goodness sake there was not a single fundamentalist involved in that service, not that I saw. There were Jews and Catholics and other mainline Protestants.

[kaybea]

21. Bu$h has his program rolled up like he's at a ballgame!

Or else swatting flies.

Everything this fucknugget does is ridiculous or uncouth.

[lapislzi]

22. Is he still dead?

What time will he be raptured?

[moondust]

24. Was the Reagan astrologer there?

Did he/she speak/align the planets?

[2bfree]

31. Clinton as always.......

The hottest one of the bunch. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm.......I sure do miss him.

[Catherine Vincent]

33. Hey, back off!

He's mine!;-)

[RobertSeattle]

34. Any photos of "just" Ford, Carter, Bush I, and Bush II (No Clinton"

Caption would be "The one term Presidents"

May Ronald Reagan be the LAST 2 term GOP President.

[calimary]

35. WHY DIDN'T GORBACHEV GET TO SPEAK?

If Maggie Thatcher and Brian Mulroney did, WHY NOT GORBY? He was EQUALLY responsible for the thawing of the Cold War and the end of the Soviet Union. If Reagan had not found a receptive, open mind and ear on the other end of the line, it would NOT have happened. None of that "he beat Communism" crap would have happened for Reagan if there were no Mikhail Gorbachev to enable it. A pitcher still needs a good catcher.

[supernova]

37. I was hoping Gorbachev

would speak too. But I guess the service would have run too long.
