Is there a transcript available? I would like to read this.

Reagan told the crowd that President Bill Clinton's 1994 State of the Union Address reminded him of the correlation between imitation and flattery. "Only in this case, it's not flattery, but grand larceny - the intellectual theft of ideas that you and I recognize as our own."

Speaking of grand larceny, I wonder how Reagan would have reacted to the looting of the White House when the Clintons left office?

I remember this.

Thank you, Nancy, for not letting the 'Toon speak

what this demonstrates most, is what is missing from the current white house political strategy - state the message bluntly about your opponent.

President Clinton turned out to be Ronald Reagan's third term. The current President Bush, is Reagan's fourth term. President Clinton wanted to reverse the 80s but ended up signing welfare reform into law and declaring the era of big government is over. Only a Democrat could do the Gipper proud. The point is however disastrous Clinton was in other respects as President, even he couldn't escape the shadow of Ronald Reagan. There is every prospect that if Kerry should win in November, he will have to heed Reagan, too. Like they say, they may hate him, but they still have to do what Reagan wants for America. That may be President Reagan's most important legacy of all for our country.

This is true, except Reagan made the point with typical wry humor. This headline makes it sound like he was indignant.

Hmmmm?

Maybe that's why George W. Bush STOLE THEM BACK!!

I saw that speech the other night on C-Span and it was vintage Reagan, he let Clinton have it with both barrels and it was great.
To think that "spineless, clueless, core-less", man felt he needed to be included as a speaker at the Reagan Funeral on Friday is just unreal. Is it ever going to be about anyone else other than him??????
One thing about watching this wonderful outpouring of Love and Respect for Reagan is that I know in my heart Clinton will never have this when he passes. Try as the Left might when that happens I truly don't believe that we will see that kind of spontaneous outpouring of grief.
Clinton's main problem might be that if he lives as long as Reagan he will have been out of politics so long and hopefully out of the lime light that people will have forgotten him and his time long past.
He certainly does not and never will have a legacy like Reagan that people can look at, admire and be inspired with.
If Clinton wants to really make an impact he really ought to drop dead right now while folks still know who he is and his buddies in the main stream media can heap glory on him. Of course we would have to endue a spectacle of a State Funeral.
By the way Clinton has not, according to news reports today, made any preparations for his funeral like other former Presidents have. Typical.
