Picked up the paper this morning, read the first few lines of the article on Reagan. It started with "Like him or not...", and the next sentence had the phrase "for better or worse...". I stopped reading, and put the paper back on the stack.

What am I thinking. Colonic, the Hildabeast, and P'lousy are going to use this a a knock down drag out cage match to see who can take the title of "Queen of Class" after their "tribute" statements about President Reagan. Democrat speech writers and spin doctors are probably burning the midnight oil right now. Should be an epic world class crocodile tears off.

That was me. I mentioned that Captain Dan was tearing up at the end of a CBS segment on Reagan last night. Was it real? Who knows.

All I can say is, PresBush best watch out. After a week of accolades for Reagan, the partisan media will be ready to pick up their attacks on Bush with a vengence.

The New York Slimes Editorial Board. Jayson Blair. Same difference --- they are all liars.

You could see the Slimes was going down this path by comparing the Sunday front pages of the New York and other papers. The New York tabloids (New York Post, Daily News and Newsday) all had a nice picture of President Reagan on their full front pages. The Washington Times devoted their full front page to President Reagan. Other papers, like the Hartford Courant and Miami Herald, devoted most of the front page above the fold to the former President.

The New York Times didn't even have a full banner headline about his death. They only had a three-column headline (half the page). Under the headline was a nice picture of the former President and very long article about his death and legacy. But the article itself only took up ONE column on the front page before continuing elsewhere. Directly to the left of President Reagan's picture was a "news" story on.... THE PRISON ABUSE SCANDAL. I say a "news" story because it really was an article masquerading as "news analysis", claiming people on the Hill, including Republicans, are not satisfied with the military's investigation of prison abuse in Iraq and Afghanistan. But this "news" story got about as much front page text as President Reagan's death. It got worse. Directly below President Reagan's picture was a story about.... World reaction to President Reagan's death? NOT! "Potential Kerry Running Mates Vie to Sing His Praises Loudest".

Shepherd Smith is the type of guy you'd like to buy for what he's worth and sell him for what he thinks he's worth. He's probably my least favorite on FOX.

It has be REALLY nice not to hear about the over reported Abu Ghraib thingy.

A picture is worth 1,000 words. Front Pages from the Sunday New York papers. One of these things is not like the others.

Well from that photo montage it's clear which papers in NYC have the most and the LEAST class.

Honestly...I'm VERY surprised the Times didn't just give him a 3 line death notice in the obit section and call it a day.

It sure will be great to see Katie Colonic in the morning ( and all week ) as she has to grit her teeth and twist her colon to act like she's saying nice things about President Reagan. She may just want to call in in sick.

If it wouldn't break my tv to tune into the stupid Today show, I'd watch her tomorrow just to see if she's wearing black.

I have no doubt that the old guy is sitting in heaven right now, reading their minds and taking gentle amusement at their discomfort.

"Oh, well...that's just them...."

Hey Seven...you're always pretty good at finding out what the foreign wires are reporting. What are they saying about the death of Pres. Reagan?

No need for an apology. You might have seen another who FReeper who posted it. I thought it was interesting. But again, was Captain Dan for real or just acting? Don't know.
