Salon has the WHOLE "The Reagans" Script Up At Their Site

Salon ^

Did Nancy have an abortion? I'm confused. I'll be honest, I don't really know much about their early life together.

[Hildy]

Has Mike Reagan addressed this?

[OldFriend]

My own opinion is that Moonves and Rockefeller have done more for the republican party than they ever intended.

[kcvl]

I haven't heard him say anything about that part. I'm not even sure he has heard it. I think he only saw about eight minutes of the movie.

[OldFriend]

I have maintained all along that SeeBS is lucky that they are not showing this.

[MinuteGal]

Most of the bitter, amoral, leftist Hollyweird, NY, LA network of Reagan-haters, conservative-haters and America-haters will never experience the love and respect that Nancy and President Reagan have for each other.

THIS IS BEING BILLED AS A LOVE STORY????? I randomly scrolled from page to page and every passage I read was some horrible insult to one of the reagans. This is even worse than I imagined.

[Hildy]

I think what the writers may have had in mind was this becoming some kind of cult flick like Rocky Horror, which would have people goign to viewing parties and making the Reagans a laughing stock, because this bears no resemblence to any real life human being.

Wellstone Funerally Index:

CBS Reagan Movie...7.6
Rockefeller Memo ....8.1

(Idea stolen from RobofGA...lol.)

No date for the script as far as I can tell. Maybe this was the first draft and they polished it up with even more Reagan slamming. It seems a bit short for a TV mini-series, but I honestly have no idea how many minutes of screen time you get from a page of script. I sure would like to know the list of advertisers they had lined up for this piece of S**T.

[CyberAnt]

I'm with you. All I had to know what that Blabs was involved. We already know her political philosophy. What else was there to know?

This show was nothing more than an expansion of "West Wing".

[John H K]

Nancy was, in fact, pregnant BEFORE she married Reagan; believe it or not they didn't make THAT up.


No idea where they would get any abortion stuff, though.

[Huck]

Hysterically funny. I wish I had Showtime. I'd TAPE it!! LOL

[RandallFlagg]

I hope you have a lot of Pepto Bismol.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

There was a Nancy Davis that was on the list .. But it wasn't our Nancy .. it turned out to be another Nancy Davis

In fact that was how Ronnie and Nancy met IIRC.

[visualops]

I saved it and can host it as well if necessary.

Please keep posting excerpts for those of us on WebTV™ who can't download PDF files.

From what I've read so far, I can't believe CBS' lawyers wouldn't have warned them that they could be sued for defamation at the very least.

[F16Fighter]

I found the script scene in which Ronald Reagan laughed maniaically while spewed vulgarities and expletives in a fire-engulfed cavern in horns, forked tail, and red jumpsuit without a pitchfork to be a bit unrealistic.

They are even trashing Maureen. They have no morals(but we already knew that).

Reagan is in his study, with REVERAND DONN MOOMAW, a born-again former football star. They are on their knees, praying in front of a picutre of a blonde, blue eyed Jesus. (It's becuase Gov. Reagan is enforcing the death penalty for Aaron Mitchell, a murderer).

BTW, did Reagan call Nancy, Nancy-pants and mother?!
