For former Presidents this is unheard of. Lincoln, JFK, and FDR had a state funeral. The difference is those three were in office and two of them were assassinated. Are we going to have to go through this shit when Ford, Carter, and Bush go? Harry "the buck stops here" Truman said he did not want to impose on anyone when he died and in his will said, "no eulogies".

Appropriate unintentionally. Might as well stage his funeral for political effect that's what he did all his life. Bushes just aren't as good at it but they try even harder.
When you spend your life making the rich and powerful richer and more powerful at the expense of the working and middle class they sure throw out the red carpet when you finally kick.

I just saw the highlights of Nancy throwing herself on the casket and then the children coming over to comfort her. An Academy Award performance for sure. I want to know who changed Reagan's diaper and bathe him these last few years. It sure was'nt Nancy or she would be rejoicing right now.
