Has Al Hunt never having heard of de mortuis nil nisi bonum? On the day she was laid to rest, Hunt has repeatedly said that Nancy Reagan "was not a good mother."

Interviewed by John Heilemann on today's With All Due Respect, here was Hunt: "she was a formidable person. Sometimes unpleasant, not a great mother, but she loved her Ronnie and had great political instincts . . . She was not a good mother. I think actually Patti Davis, as moving as she was today, if you really listened to it, all was clear: she was not a good mother. She was devoted to Ronald Reagan, and anything that got in the way was a distraction."

Parents can do the best they are able to and some kids still hate them. Speaks as much of Patti as it does Nancy. Airing dirty linen is so classless.

He's still an arrogant pr!ck, and I daresay at his age he has the face he deserves.

"With all due respect" to him, mind you. :)

Well that didn’t take long did it? Watching the media fawn over Nancy this week made me sick to my stomach. They gave her so much grief. Even obama insulted her the first day he was in WH.

So.. it’s a video you had nothing to do with, and you commenting about it?

Somebody pays you for that?

You need a job, dude. Entry level. With a shovel.

She DID FAIL as a parent. Her 2 kids were screwed up big time! The best thing a man can do for his kids is to love their mother. Ronald Reagan did his part.

Hunt said this while interviewed by John Heilemann on today’s “With All Due Respect,”

A program named “With All Due Respect” and Al Hunt showed none.

With all due respect, both Ron Jr and Patti Davis were products of the 1960s Hollywood so it was fashionable to trash their parents.

Both were also totally overweening narcissists and spoiled brats who set new high standards for classlessness and ingratitude.

I mean really Ron Jr starting a ballet dancing career at the age of 27 - be serious.

Patty did make a surprisingly good showing in nude Playboy photo spread.

Well the bashing of Nancy didn’t take long for the MSM to start it.

Patty Davis is a b**** wh**e from hell. Never forget the sight of her and her pansy brother grinning and joking at Ronald Reagan’s funeral.
