5. Private Funeral

When I was at the National Cathedral on Saturday, I was talking to our local deacon. She mentioned that Cheney's funeral was going to be this week because she was serving at it. So, I'm guessing that it's private. I'm rather surprised. Usually a former VP will lie in state somewhere. I guess they just wanted to get him buried quickly.

He’s probably not going to be interned anywhere, now that he isn’t.

Did Trump really say “until internment??”

(Not that I would put it past him, you understand)

That would be the ultimate last laugh if it did!

Imagine Stars and Stripes announcing the impending internment of Dick Cheney! I'd hope they would at least say in which prison.

They'll probably have to reconsecrate the place afterwards.
