One week is hardly extravagant for one of the most loved and influential leaders of his era.
Reagan died on Saturday, June 5. His funeral was Friday, June 11. So not even a week. Six days.
Regarding the scandals of Reagan's presidency, they were less than most.
Even the sainted Franklin D. Roosevelt had his scandals and improprieties.
Likewise John F. Kennedy.
And Lyndon Johnson.
And needless to say, Richard Nixon.
Even Jimmy Carter.
And needless to say, Bill Clinton.
So... give the guy a break. He's dead.
