2. Seven days of media and republican party exploitation was BULLSHIT!

Now, the man is finally being laid to rest, after all of that DISRESPECT.

I want to know who was at the actual burial.

5. Tom Selleck, Bo Derek and

arnold the groper with Maria were there. I'm not sure who else because I didn't watch but those were some that were mentioned on local 'news'.

8. The "Real" Ronald Reagan Funeral was showing all Week.....it was

all planned by him when he first knew he had Alzheimers. It was fully orchestrated like a movie. Even the "private burial" had 700 people attending it along with cameras focusing on it until past midnight here in the East Coast.

It was two parts. The Triumphant "State Ceremony" where we honor "The King" and the Part II where the "Family" honors "The King."

Just because the family spoke doesn't make it more "real." It just seemed real because of those beautiful shots of the CA Hills and the sunset glowing from the West and the close up shots of the family and their eulogies.

It was all orchestrated, but "real" in the sense of thats who he was. So, I understand your point.
