Live now at 9 p.m. EST. Hosted by Frank Sesno.

Lou Cannon: "I know Ronald Reagan, this is not Ronald Reagan. I know Nancy Reagan, this is not Nancy Reagan."

Cannon criticizing about Iran-Contra origin depicted in film.

I love Martin. This guy is slaughtering these leftist bastards.

[Miss Marple]

Any help I can contribute in destroying Barbra Streisand, count me in.

One of the things we should think about is making her style of music un-cool. If we had gay conservatives who would mock her, so much the better!

[Lazamataz]

That's none other than Hillary Rosen, member of the Creative Coalition and the Human (Gay) Rights Campaign.

She's truly evil. She's lying when she says Nancy Reagan was elevated. She was seriously debased.

I'm still wondering why ROsen is even participating in this panel.

Believe it or not, we have wonderful friends in the endeavor to take Streisand down a peg. The creators of South Park have made her a fool in many of their episodes.

Kalb just said this movie lacks taste. What an understatement, although he's right.

-Regards, T.

[Lazamataz]

Hole in one, you are my TV capture hero.

[kristinn]

Kalb making excuses for this movie, saying the Kennedys have been similarly trashed (neglects to say those movies, save Oliver Stone, are factual.)

[Freedom4US]

Yes! Sesno and the Reagan biographers, and Linda C. are cleaning their collective clocks. It just burns me that people try and get away with this crap. ABC gets a thumbs up for taking a pass on this, at least.

[L.N. Smithee]

The 1-2 minutes they showed made my blood boil. Have a jellybean.......wtf?

Of all the moments that proved Ronnie-phobes with nothing but money and a vengeful agenda were in charge of this travesty, that was the moment. Reagan, swearing a blue streak minutes before in the show, fumbling for words before an angry Al Haig, and trying to calm him down with a jellybean.

Now that I have heard -- not saw -- the thing (Comcast, for whatever reason, allows Showtime and HBO to be heard but not seen in my area), it may have been much ado about less than zero. If Oliver Stone was responsible for The Reagans, perhaps it would have been slanderous, but it also might have been entertaining. No such luck for this waste of videotape.

I don't know what ever became of Bonzo, but someone should check to see if he has been banging on a typewriter lately. He may have accidently written the script for The Reagans!

Thumbs up to Senso. He's being fair.

Rosen just call us thin-skinned, the bitch.
