How does that embarrass Republicans? The du-ers were going on about this being a blow to the RNC. Weren't both the Reagan girls, Patti and Ron, always causing Nancy and President Reagan grief in some form? Ron was always a leftist, his going to the democrat convention barely makes a yawn factor one.
In true leftist form, the two girls couldn't wait to use their father's death to push their agenda against President Bush. It would surprise me if they didn't use the opportunity (their father's death) to attack the Republicans at the dem convention.
To Patti's credit, the last few years she had actually grown up, a bit, from what I hear. Still a leftie tho.
