Kids, this is how we (Brit-rooted) bury Presidents -- but not WHOOPING!!!

[DeepModem Mom]

Reagan was elected and served; he gets this ceremony, this pomp and circumstance.

Applauding Nancy, okay. Applauding the flyover? Strange. WHOOPING as the casket is removed from the catafalque??? What kind of ya-hoos are in that crowd? I didn't approve of this President, but that's my Capitol, my flag, and even the Battle Hymn of my Republic. What ignorance of decorum, common sense, and decency!

1. yeah all the applause and whooping was a bit strange

under the circumstances IMO

2. Your basic wingnut lacks any sort of decorum

These are the Guns and Jesus types. They haven't figured out that this is a funeral and not a 4th of July parade. What a bunch of Morons. I agree, even though I vehmently disagree with 99% of what Reagan did, he was the president and he was elected (unlike others) so he gets the big shindig. But those wingnuts show their true colors when they are cat calling the ascension of a casket into the Rotunda. Someone out there probably has a foghorn or something.

3. LOL! A foghorn, I'll betcha!

4. Very strange

to applaude, disrespectful, wonder what was with that. Yikes, I hope it wasn't the Democrats doing it, that would look so bad. :-(

5. And NOT with political speeches!!!

I missed the Stevens speech, but if it was partisan, he's also way out of bounds.
