My father would probably say, “This too shall pass.” And it will. We will continue to come to his bedside, knowing that death waits in the doorway and will one day reach for him. We will continue to cherish the fact that we walked away from our old battlegrounds and discovered how much better peace feels. We will look at each other through the clear glass of the present, not the mud-spatter of the past. What a pity the producers missed out on that part of the story.

Beautiful. Thank you.

Thank God they pulled this off the broadcast air. There is enough trash being readily thrown around we didn'tneed to see this.

Reading the script actually made me feel better in some ways. It is, quite simply, idiotic. ...

...But the idiocy of the script can’t dilute the cruelty behind it. To deliberately and calculatingly depict public people as shallow, intolerant, cold and inept, with no truths or facts to back up the portrayals, is nothing short of malevolent.

Excellent.

Excellent column. Thanks for posting this.

ONE MORE WIN FOR THE GIPPER

Considering that some of the defenders of this piece-of-clinton reference (out of context) previous Patti Davis statements, this is a slammmm. Ron's undoubtedly proud of his daughter.

Anyone over the age of 45 will recognize her statement about letting 'old grudges' go, and how mud-splattered past relationships with our parents can become peaceful as we age and grow more wise.

Patti Davis has written here a very moving essay. And she is correct that the movie was driven by vicious, malicious hatred of a man who made even their world safer for them.

Thanks for posting this, GaryL. And kudos to Ms Davis for defending her parents.

Patti's done a lot of growing up.

From Brent Bozzell...

The producers of "The Reagans" are Craig Zadan and Neil Meron, who've been instrumental in bringing TV revivals of classic musicals to television for Disney. They are also openly gay activists who will be honored in Hollywood next March with an award at the "Building Equality" dinner from the gay-left lobby called the Human Rights Campaign.

In 1995, Zadan and Meron produced another "historical" film for television with their pal Barbra Streisand called "Serving in Silence: The Margarethe Cammermeyer Story," with Glenn Close playing the lesbian military nurse who came out of the closet and defied the Pentagon's "homophobia." This movie did not invent nasty doings or sayings to cast Cammermeyer in a negative light. On the contrary, this was uplifting propaganda. Amazon.com reminds us that the script "captures the sad irony of doing everything right -- serving one's country, taking care of the people in one's life -- yet still being treated like a pariah for entirely irrational reasons."

The film was nothing more than a hit piece by the homosexual lobby, pure propaganda. All orchestrated by Viacom/CBS and the usual suspects in Hollywood.
