Soooo...Did Bush screw up the eulogy?

[Bush_Sucks]

You know, like he always screws something up during a speech.

1. I Didn't Hear Him Make Any Mistakes Today....

:shrug:

[molly]

2. Not really - only we knew he was not sincere

it was written for him and he musta practiced for hours.

[StephanKetz]

12. You mean

days, dont you?

[ewagner]

3. Not really

He spoke slowly....no more than 5-6 words in a row.

Easy, simple laugh lines (although he may have placed emphasis on the wrong word in the punchline)

Smirked his way through most of it.

Not inspiring.

Nothing really memorable.

I have some suspicions about the particular items he chose to praise Reagan. I think he was setting up comparisons between him and RR for the campaign, but we'll just have to wait for it.

[grasswire]

4. yeah

He said that he's going to see Reagan in heaven.

What a lie.

[Sandpiper]

6. If he sees Reagan anywhere

I don't think it will be heaven. But he can take comfort in the fact that Richard Nixon and Strom Thurmond will be there too.

[Raster]

5. are you kidding??? ...with babs and poppy in the audience? nah

[AlCzervik]

7. Dim-Son should switch

careers to sermonizing. I've noticed when he's invoking the name of the holy one and amening he actually speaks without stammering or stuttering.

[Vickers]

8. He was trying to say "smiling" at the end and it came out like "smiring"

I had to look at the transcript to see what he was supposed to say. Could've been my ears, too.

9. actually, I thought *s was the least demagogic (if that's a word)

Thatcher's was utterly disgusting...laded with Evil Empire crap. With such demagogues in power during the 80s, the world is so lucky that a clear thinker like Gorbachev was one of the players. By the way these other turkeys talked, it's a wonder we didn't have a nuclear conflict.

I can't believe Gorby sat through that. How many times can you be called evil and a loser and not blow your top?

[AlCzervik]

11. LOL i know

"Evil Empire" how many times? I swear the way she was talking bout ole Ronnie could make a person think that she did him.

[Edgewater_Joe]

10. BOR-RING!

No wonder I counted at least six different people snoozing -- and no, eulogies don't have to be boring. I saw two stirring eulogies in the last ten years, both in Chicago: Msgr. Ken Velo's incredibly powerful eulogy of Cardinal Joseph Bernardin, and Pete Van Acken's rip-roaring sendoff of Haray Caray.

What I found surprising was why Ronnie didn't want one of his Hollywood cronies say a word or two. It would've been appropriate, and added a little more wit to the proceedings.

But as for Dear Leader ... whatever bump he gets will be miniscule.

He blew it.

[elf]

13. I felt the entire time

the funeral was all about a great man, a gifted politician and a time witness in historic events...........

.............it made Bush looking so small and foolish in all his efforts to be a war-hero-President!!

Whenever they thought, this Reagan thing would be good for him, I truly doubt it, it makes people compare and thats really bad for him!

He looks even more like a nonexistent leader, and for sure not the one of the Free World!!!!!!!!!!!!

The world is waiting for a change!!!!!!!!!!

America will be in better shape after another president is elected!
