What George W. Bush might have said—at least as our columnist jokingly imagines it
Newsweek/MSNBC ^ | 01/20/2005 | Patti Davis

Posted on 01/20/2005 4:24:50 PM PST by drt1

Jan. 20 - There were 22 drafts of President Bush’s Inaugural Address, according to news reports, the final one being approved as suitable for history’s long and indelible memory. Since every White House has its leaks, moles, spies and secret e-mailers, it was inevitable that an earlier draft—and accompanying commentary—would end up in the wrong hands. Fortunately those hands were mine, and it is my patriotic duty to make this draft public. We are still at this moment a free society, and I think I’m still protected by the First Amendment (though I’m not completely sure about that.)

Anyway, if you never hear from me again it’s because I was taken away in the middle of the night, put into some clandestine place, and am going through rigorous questioning as to where I got this draft. Please delete this link after you read it—you could be next....

They just never stop. Just because of an accident of birth these two siblings think they are qualified to comment on just about everything!

Patty had a few lucid moments during her father's funeral.

Now she's back to La-La Land.

You don't think Patti and Ronette were planned and wanted chiiiilds?

Okay, it's high time that she stopped being allowed to use her father's casket as a soapbox.

A sophmoric piece at best.

I was going to click on the link and see what she had to say, but decided not to ruin my good mood today.

Besides, she'll be carted off soon to the funny farm, never to be heard from again, so, what's the point?

"We are still at this moment a free society, and I think I’m still protected by the First Amendment (though I’m not completely sure about that.)"

Right about at the above line is where I stopped reading. It's easy to see where this juvenile crap is going anyway. We have protestors in the streets saying some of the vilest things imagineable, but yet Patti is worried about the 1st amendment.

If she's "not completely sure" it's because she's stupid.

Dear Patti,

Your rant and rage are all about you hating everything your father stood for. It must have been hellish to grow up hating his every action and belief, but you likely grew confident about your beliefs upon seeing all of the hygenic hippies on your side.

Seeing millions of Americans honor your father, for his belief in America and his actions which you so despised, must have been very hard for you. I forgive you for you moronic rages. You are still the impetuous little child you have always been - seeking attention in all of the wrong places.

I'm sorry, Patti who?

If it weren't for an accident of birth, this one would be serving coffe to the truckers at the local Waffle House and accepting butt pinches with a giggle in hopes for a bigger tip.

Geez. Some people.

She never stops spitting upon the grave of her father. Shame on her, but then, she has always been a shame.

You've been asked to not alter titles. Do not do it again.

She's one step up from Mo Dowd. But that's not saying much. There is no excuse for Patti's ignorance. She had a lifetime to learn the truths her father fought so hard to bring to this country. Instead she chose to discuss fabrics with her brother. It just makes me so sad to see the waste.

a person who has no skills trying to write satire or humor is somewhat akin to a monkey attempting to milk a cow,with the latter being more a farmer than the former is a writer.

The fact that she changed her name says it all. How many people would be so proud to have the Reagan name?

Patti Davis has a right to her opinion, I will grant her that.

My dad was a diehard Roosevelt Democrat until the day he died. However, out of respect for him, if politics were brought up, I just changed the subject, as our views were so different.

My respect for my dad superseeded my need to voice my opinion. Maybe that's wrong.......

Patti and Ron, apparently, have never liked their Parents. They were estranged from them before, during and after the Whitehouse years. Patti was a rock band groupy whore. Patti was quoted as saying, during her youth, that all that mattered was "Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll". She never cared who her Father was, or his role in History. Same goes for Ron, the Ballet Dancer. He never cared who his Father was, he just wanted to dance and fly through the air with the greatest of ease.

My heart goes out to Michael Reagan....an adopted son of Ronald Reagan, who has become an eloquent spokesman of his father. Michael gave the most poignant and touching remembrance of Ronald Reagan during the sunset ceremony at RR's final resting place.

Michael may have been the black sheep of the family, but he has certainly become the class of the family. Patti and Ron have sold out to the media. They will never have the character and values as Michael.

Agree. Micheal Reagan has conducted himself with a dignity and grace that is real no matter what political stripe he wears. My disapproval of Patti and Ron has to do with them as human beings and not their political views (Although I don't like those either!)

I love the last line of the article in question.
"Davis, the daughter of Nancy and Ronald Reagan, is a writer based in Los Angeles"

If she is a writer, I am the Archbishop of Canterbury.

"Patti and Ron, apparently, have never liked their Parents. They were estranged from them before, during and after the Whitehouse years."

The Reagan family provide us with three great examples of the human experience. Ronald Wilson Reagan proved that you can come from humble beginnings (with an alcoholic parent)and rise to the be the most powerful man in the world while still being a wonderful husband, father and unpretentious person with normal failings. Michael Reagan proved that you can be adopted by a couple of Hollywood Actors and become a great human being as well as a fine writer and political commentator. Patti Davis and Ronnie Reagan have shown the world that you can be the genetic offspring of a great man and still become an a$$hole without much effort. As that great former soviet comedian Yakov Smirov once said, "What a countries"
