If you can't make it to Lynchburg for the funeral and aren't close enough to watch it on local TV, the news said tonight that WSET.com will broadcast the funeral service live at 1:00 p.m. on their website.

According to WSET news tonight, NEITHER of the Bushes is coming to the funeral, but the current President is sending a "representative."

I'm okay with that. The security precautions and distractions that come with having the POTUS in the place just isn't always appropriate for a funeral. If they came, fine. I'm sure Dr. Falwell would have loved it. If not, that's fine too. It will make it a little less of a circus and little bit more reverent.

Apparently, John Hagee is coming. A plane owned by his ministry landed here yesterday afternoon.

Today's N&A is also reporting that Rod Parsley arrived yesterday for the funeral as well.

Also, based on the private flights that have arrived here in the last two days, I would guess that there are also people coming in from Oklahoma City, Orlando and Grand Rapids.

I am not sure if it will be aired nationally. I was told that only 3 media services are allowed inside TRBC today. They are: The Washington Post, AP, and WSET.
