Jim Brady is a genuinely tragic figure. First, much of his brain was destroyed in the 1981 assassination attempt on President Reagan. Then to add insult to injury, his wife paraded his still breathing remains around the country to support a Leftwing attack on American liberty. Any decent person, regardless of any ideological bent, should have been repulsed by that crass behavior--the crudest form of exploitation of misery, by someone posing as a loyal mate.
Beau Bridges should stick to the lines brighter writers write for his movie roles, and otherwise keep his mouth shut. Or does he really want to have the image that these remarks give him?
