The funeral hasn't taken place yet. The public viewing began Wednesday night, after a public procession through Washington and a private ceremony in the Rotunda. And yes, I saw that.

You are very mistaken.

The STATE Funeral was last night. The NATIONAL Funeral is tomorrow morning and the FAMILY funeral is Friday evening when they also bury him.

If you don't believe me please refer to foxnews.com.

Paste from the schedule the site:

"7:00 pm EDT State Funeral Ceremony in Rotunda of U.S. Capitol"

breathing heavy....histrorian is coming out

the state funeral is a different funeral from the national funeral

there are actually 3 funerals for a dead president: family, state, and national. each one is guided by different protocol and US codes. only time the state funeral is not in the capital is when the president is in office then it is in the white house.

Go look at foxnews.com...msnbc.com

"Ronald Reagan will be the first former president to have a state funeral in Washington since Lyndon Johnson in 1973.

Today: Reagan lies in repose at his presidential library in Simi Valley, Calif., until Tuesday evening.

Wednesday: Reagan's body is flown to Andrews Air Force Base outside Washington. At 6 p.m. ET, a formal funeral procession begins to the U.S. Capitol, with the casket transferred onto a horse-drawn caisson at 1600 Constitution Ave. Reagan lies in state in the Capitol Rotunda starting at 8:30 p.m. until Friday morning.

Friday: Funeral starts at 11:30 a.m. at Washington National Cathedral. Private burial will follow at the Reagan library."

Personally, I don't think President Reagan's passing is something to argue about. The man, and the office of the Presidency, and the American people in mourning deserve respect. (Hi Forte...it's very nice seeing you on the board today. Karrie, when the funeral occurs on Friday I will watch it and observe a moment of silence for Reagan for our country and for Nancy and the family)

I caught a glimpse of the coffin getting off the plane surrounded by our men in uniform.
