Sorry about ... not my words but my sentiment...
Apparently William Jefferson Blythe Clinton is having a fit because he wasn't invited to speak at the Reagan funeral.
Without any authority whatsover, I am pleased to ghostwrite to the Scumbag an explanation.
Dear Disgraced Impeached President Clinton:
The Reagan family has been planning for the funeral of the beloved 40th President for some time. It was not a last minute snafu that left you off the list of speakers. Other than being a president, you have very little in common with Ronald Reagan. Not only would it be inappropriate to allow you to speak at his funeral, it would be a slap in the face to the greatest president of the 20th Century.
The following are among the many reasons that you may not speak. Ronald Reagan had so much respect for the Oval Office that he would never remove his coat. You had so much contempt for it that you were often without your pants. Ronald Reagan would not only have not accepted bribe money from someone who sold missile technology to the Chinese Communists, he would have seen that such a traitor was executed. Ronald Reagan treated women with respect. You are a serial sexual predator and assaulter and think of them as little more than semen receptacles. You enjoyed jogging; Ronald Reagan enjoyed horesback riding. He would never take a lunch break from his official duties to go for a ride and spend time in the bushes being serviced by a crack cocaine hooker. Ronald Reagan hired adults to be in charge of security at the White House, not a bar bouncer. His White House drug test was not multiple choice. Ronald Reagan did not have a sham marriage with a woman who is evil incarnate. Do we even need to explain that one? Ronald Reagan never used his Bible as a prop and never played sex cigar games with an troubled young intern after attending Easter Service. Ronald Reagan confronted head on the great evil of his time. You let the great evil of your time develop critical mass and left a nightmare for your successor. The only time Ronald Reagan stained the Great Seal was when he accidentally dropped a cup of coffee. Ronald Reagan loved the military that defends this nation. You loathed it. Ronald Reagan never committed perjury, turned into the court a false affidavit, or hired thugs to intimidate witnesses. When President Reagan left office, he became a private citizen, he got on his horse, and he rode into the sunset. When you left office, it is as if you never left and you will never leave unless you are dragged away kicking and screaming.
So, Impeached President Clinton, you disgraced the office while you held it. You have disgraced yourself when your time ended. You continue to disgrace yourself at every opportunity. Get this straight. This funeral is about a great president, a great husband, a great father, and a man of great character. It is not about you. We are not going to let you spoil it. Stop whining. Shut up. Go away. You are lucky you are even being allowed into the service. Put some ice on that.

Noted in yesterday's (06/09/2004) ceremonies...
Former President Ford: "President Reagan once advised me that it is okay to disagree as long as it is agreeable."
It was reported that this death bed scene occurred:
President Reagan had been motionless for some time with his eyes closed. Those around him, including Mrs. Reagan, of course, had been standing vigil and were about to leave. The President opened his eyes, looked directly into Mrs. Reagan's, closed his eyes and then was gone.
