Woodruff: "We are witnessing history, all politics put aside!"
Observing the jet carrying Reagan taxiing in at an airport, she is 'witnessing history being made'.

40. Did she cry?
I boycott CNN and especially Woodruff, so I really don't know what's she been up to, but I wouldn't be surprised if she cried. The thing about Woodruff is, you tend to give her the benefit of the doubt because of her PSS background. But once you realize that she is the whore of ALL whores, it's just a small step to realizing that she is stupid too. x( Then you can pity her as well as despise her.

2. Why Can't She Just Say..
The plane is landing.


Whenever someone says "all politics aside" what they really mean is -- this is all about politics.

4. Why is history "being made?"
The words "being made" would imply that something extraordinary is happening... different from all other state funerals ever held.

How is history BEING MADE here?

9. Well, they did display his body in Simi Valley
flew it to DC, will hold the memorial services there, fly it back to Simi Valley for the private funeral and burial.

I guess that a dead president moving around more in the week after his death than he had the decade before his death has never occurred before.

6. No. We are witnessing a mass over reaction to the death
of a man who has been brain dead for ten years and who was a mediocre (at best, at least compared to Smirk) president who hasn't been in office for 15 years.

I am SO sick of Woodruff. I can't believe the non-stop gushing of Reagan love from this woman. That's it, I'm done with her...I'm never watching Inside Politics again.

12. SNL
This is starting to sound like the SNL skit ... BW has been shot, I repeat, BW has been shot. Let me repeat again, BW has been shot. For those of you just joining us, BW has been shot.

They are simply running out of things to say, because this story is old, boring and overwith.

16. Maybe it's me, but I don't think The Framers envisioned this kind of...
... hoopla over a former president's death.

I think Truman did it classier. He was Citizen Truman after his retirement, as The Framers wanted it. From Citizen to President back to Citizen.

If you're not a sitting president who dies, I just don't think this kind of hoopla is warranted. Reagan should have had the honor guard in California, with the crowds filing by to pay their respects. Then, they should have buried him, and that would have been that.

Betcha a dollar that Citizen Carter doesn't want his body dragged from Plains to Washington to Plains, when his time comes.

17. Whoredruff is INCAPABLE of putting her Bushevik Politics to the side
Which is why she is where she is.

Whoredruff is either a Mockingbird, a Loyaslist, or a Dupe...like WolfWhore.

20. Well, it's history in that his death will be in history books
Edited on Wed Jun-09-04 04:21 PM by Solly Mack
and it's history in that an icon of the right has died...so it's really rightwing history more than anything.


which explains all the hoopla...as the right is in charge currently and they are playing this for all it's worth...and then some.

it's hype in that they wish to play it as if the whole of America gives a damn.

it's definitely politics.....

26. Yawn...
She's gotta quit huffing the hairspray.

We are right in the middle of the big whoopdedoo all-Reagan media circus, and guess what? Not one person I have spoken to outside of DU in the last 3 days has even mentioned this historic event.

For most Americans, the only dead presidents that count are the ones they can spend.

41. Oh blow me, Judy!
She is just the worst, most cheezy thing on the air. Why does she still have a job? She's an idiot.

It's NOT history being made. it's history being buried. Let it go Judy.. take a week off and compose your whiney-ass self. YOU people in the so-called t.v. media have created this Reagan fantasy funeral. Reagan ain't Kennedy, and no amount of maudlin commentary, or black carriages is going to make it so.
