I have to say, the preacher in California was an extraordinary doofus. Aside from every other pompous statement (did he realize the occasion was about Reagan and not about himself?) he stood there and imitated Margaret Thatcher with her in the audience! Mimicked her words in a falsetto voice, complete with bad imitation of her British accent! That was a real cringe-maker.

Thank you Teri, I couldn't have said it better myself..Cringe, I did..when that silly preacher man began to mouth off, about himself..and do his party imitation of 'Maggie'...I actually had to turn my TV sound down..to compose myself..and not listen to his drivel..The only excuse was that he is an old fool, just taking his moment in the sun..but his timing was really off!Apart from that
I loved every moment of it all, even Maggie Thatcher's long winded, but well meaning remarks.
My only regret is that it stayed with me all night long..like a never ending, perfectly produced movie I had watched for a whole week long!

I really thought that Ron Reagan did and outstanding job speaking at his father's burial service on Friday night. Does anyone know where I can get a transcript of it?

I felt so sorry for Mrs. Reagan, how exhausted she must have been and then she had to suffer through that arrogant "doofus" go on and on and on and on. I did not think he was ever going to stop.

Last Words on Reagan around the Blogosphere
Seeing a soldier - these are the toughest men I know - standing in salute with tears running down his cheek lets you know just how moving this ceremony was.
