MSNBC Analyst Ron Reagan Jr. Accuses Bush of “Dementia”
Media Research Center ^ | 1-29-04 | Medial Reseach Center

Ron Reagan Jr., on MSNBC Tuesday night, sure dispelled the notion of anyone who assumed that he is any kind of conservative of friend of a Republican President. Just past 11pm EST, Reagan, whose father suffers from Alzheimer’s disease, suggested that President George W. Bush has “dementia.” Reagan, whom MSNBC brought aboard to stand in front of a national map in order to discuss upcoming primaries, commented about how David Kay concluded that “Iraq never had weapons of mass destruction.” Reagan then sarcastically asked: “What does George W. Bush say? ‘Well, I still think they had them.’ That’s not just spin. That’s dementia, you know.”

Reagan, a veteran of Fox News in its pre-FNC days, stood in front of the map, with a fire going in a fire place behind him, and commented a couple of times an hour about where the Democratic candidates may next battle it out. Just past 11pm EST, he opined on another topic: “You were talking about who’s the best person to beat Bush. And one thing that you might want to consider is that politics is a contact sport. And if you ask any NFL player, they’ll tell you it takes weeks to get used to the contact. So all these guys are out there, and they’re getting tough. They’re taking shots, and they’re getting back up again. George W. Bush, on the other hand, is sitting in the Oval Office and he’s getting soft. Now, what happens when you go in the Oval Office is you start living in a bubble, you know, you don’t read the paper anymore, you just listen to who you want to listen to. And we’re seeing that now. David Kay, for instance, comes out with a report and says Iraq never had weapons of mass destruction. What does George W. Bush say? ‘Well, I still think they had them.’ That’s not just spin. That’s dementia, you know. So I don’t get this. I’m a little angry about this. Forgive me. It looks like my pants are on fire, by the way, I’m so angry here, but it’s not true. It’s just an optical illusion for those of you who might be concerned or perhaps hopeful.”

Obviously Jr Ron can't connect the dots leading from the demise of Saddam to the apparent capitulation of Libya. Or maybe he can & he's just bitter that the upstart from Texas is finishing up that bit of unfinished biz, too.

Well, color me crazy, but I still think they had/do them, too. So did/does much of the rest of the world.

One son of an American president goes on to become president himself. Another son of an American president goes to host Eukanubadooba dog shows on Animal Planet.

ouuuchhhhhhh! Me thinks you've hit upon the burr in little Ron's tutu.

No, really, why don't people tell this guy to take his tiny WMD and go pound sand?

This goober is a political analyst? Who said so? Does the TV fairy come down and touch you with her wand to make you a political analyst?

There is a reason why MSNBC is in third place.

Be Seeing You,

Chris

Perhaps Ron is showing himself, to have the 'early signs'. . .

He is pathetic and MSNBC is pathetic to have him on their payroll.

Is there a way to put Ron Reagan, Jr on ignore? What's the command for that?

Would a mind-numbed lightweight child of a former Democratic leader who hates Democrats ever get a gig like this?

Wow! Your name well describes the brutal truth of your post! Great point.

This Reagan always seemed like a "poof" to me. Most probably has more allegiance to the rainbow flag than the American flag.

Forgive me. It looks like my pants are on fire, by the way...

Yeah, I take this guy seriously. He should at least be looking for dates elsewhere.

As a child of an alzheimer victim and with thank you to Ronald Regan SENIOR for making me proud to be American again - ittybitty junior is further along in his dementia than either one of our fathers. Difference is...our fathers are not being used by the left-wing broadcasts. That boy has always been flaky

Yep, whenever I want answers to complex international issues I go look up fruitcakes who wear tights and think their pants are on fire.

Reagan's children with the love of his life, Nancy, are nuts. His children by Jane Wyman are the most loyal. But then again, look at this President's daughters who seem to be in the liberal category too.
