Msnbc just showed a clip of Joe at the funeral.

He was crying - as expected.

They are going to keep showing clips if anyone is around.


Lots of hugs for the Biden family today :grouphug:

1. Biden speaking right now.

It's so difficult to speak at your mother's funeral...unfortunately, I know :(
But I didn't have to do it while the world watched.

2. I just got up and saw the end of his ulogy -- I'm bummed I didn't see the whole

thing, Did you? The quote he used kind of reminded me of the one I used for my mom's remembrance card: Let her rest from her labors for her good deeds go with her.

Back from commercial and apparently they're not continuing coverage :(

Is Obama there?

[jillan]

3. It wasn't very long - he just talked about what a wonderful woman she was

a wonderful mom and grandmother.

Yes the Obamas were there along with Pelosi.

[gateley]

4. That's nice they're there with him. Especially Pelosi -- for some reason I find

that touching.

edit to PS: I wonder who else from the Hill attended. I'm thinking Dodd, and what was the name of that Republican who showed up in the Senate with the Joe mask and Joe Biden for President sweatshirt? Others, too, I hope. It means so much to the family.

5. Chuck Hagel

They seemed to have been very good friends. Joe also seemed close to Barbara Boxer.

[gateley]

6. Yes! Thanks. It was driving me nuts. I hope they attended. And Dodd, if I

didn't mention that before. Didn't Joe go to Dodd's mother's funeral? What am I thinking of?
