As sad as it is, can you imagine the press right now, cueing their obits? They JUST got done with all the silly Memorial Day WWII Memorial dedication coverage, the speeches, the patriotism et al, THEN they have to cover the D Day commemoration, and JUST when they have that "old folks' stuff" pretty much over with so they can go back to their Bush-bashing....
THEN REAGAN HAS TO GO AND DIE! So NOW we have spend ANOTHER week on the memorials, the speeches, the Cold War, the biography, more speeches, more pundits, and people will inevitably be reminded what he stood for, and what he accomplished, and how he protected America. Some may actually be roused enough from their stupor to even consider voting Republican!
"Ten years with Alzheimers, and WHY does he HAVE to die in an ELECTION YEAR??????"
They'll be cursing under their breath as they cover the events.
Leave it to Reagan, even at the threshold of death, HE'S STICKING IT TO THE LEFT!!!!
Fox just reporting that pneumonia has set in. Rest well, dear Mr. President.
Update: Pneumonia has set it according to a family member.
Boy, howdy. Did he ever -- always -- stick it to the dems.
>>Leave it to Reagan, even at the threshold of death, HE'S STICKING IT TO THE LEFT!!!!
Especially the media, who will have to report on the reaction of 'regular people' and will be deeply saddened because there is not as much hatred among the 'regular people' for Reagan as there is among the media.

I thought this was going to happen 4 years ago.
You have to admit he was a fighter.
Good post!
You forgot how this will overshadow slickwillies book.
President Reagan, who I always loved and admired, has just ALWAYS had PERFECT timing. It would appear that his timing for passing on is PERFECT as well. God Bless this wonderful man and all that he has done for the world really.
