Who doesn't like Reagan?

Unbelievable! Interestingly, I have never heard of most of the idiots shooting their mouths off.

I'm just finishing reading Peggy Noonan's latest book on Reagan, When Character Was King
Excellent book.

Hey, Cuttn, how you? I just bought When Character Was King. I was at Costco last week, and it was sitting on a stack of paperbacks, where it didn't belong. So it caught my eye, and I threw it in my shopping cart. I'll have to start it.

I was so sad to hear of Reagan's passing, but as I said to my husband, Reagan hasn't been Reagan for many years.

Hoss, if you have not read "The Real Jummy Carter," you must. It will make you appreciate President Reagan even more.

BAD APPLES
Give some Democrats credit: many of the comments released by party factotums on the death of President Ronald Reagan at least attempted to be gracious. But, while some of the words may have been magnanimous, the actions of some Democrats was not.

In California, according to a Democratic House leadership staffer, Democratic House leader Nancy Pelosi's office refused until late in the day West Coast time to prepare any remarks by the leader on the passing of the President.

"A call went out around mid-day on the East Coast that Reagan might be in serious condition, and that party leaders should be ready. But Pelosi's people basically said they couldn't' be bothered. [Democratic whip] Steny Hoyer had to get them in line. We got the impression they just didn't want to say anything that would be construed as supportive of a Republican."

Pelosi's office also nixed sending flowers to the funeral home where the president's body was being prepared for burial.

Back in Washington, staffers at the Democratic National Committee stopped a couple of interns who were lowering the flags to half mast outside their headquarters.

"The interns were just doing what they thought was right," says a DNC staffer, who heard about the incident. "But somebody a bit more senior told them not to lower the flags until they absolutely had to, I guess when President Bush announced that all flags should be lowered. There was only an hour's difference. It was pretty petty, but that's how bad things have gotten around here."
