If it weren't for his Dad, this smug, pompous, self-righteous, arrogant, worthless little twerp wouldn't even be narrating dog shows. I LOVE Buckley!
I swear, Nancy made that flaky hippy, Patti, and Jr. all by herself. There isn't an iota of Pres. Reagan in either one.
BTW, don't you think Jr. looks like Nancy before plastic surgery?

[Brad’s Gramma]

BTTT for against JUNIOR!!!!!

GREAT post!!!

[kellynla]

Ya sometimes wonder who was actually adopted? LOL
Michael is more Reagan than Reagan's own flesh and blood...

[BibChr]

Anyone know yet where Buckley's letter to li'l Ron can be found in full?

This is all I've seen of it.

How can anyone take a guy that wore a codpiece seriously ?

This fit the desperate effort by Bush-bashers to keep the president from politically benefitting as a result of national grief over Reagan's passing.

Actually what's happening is that Ronald Reagan Jr. is seizing the opportunity to show off in public again even more embarassingly than when during his father's presidency he became a ballet dancer, and also when he did a Tom Cruse spoof posing in his undies and singing on TV.

It's sad for Nancy, but her kids are losers and Jane Wyman's daughter and adopted son turned out by far the best of Ronald Reagan's children. And Nancy didn't even get any grandchildren from her two biologicals.

I wish I knew. Ron, Jr. talked about it last night on Hard Ball.
I'd give my Hopilong Cassidy mug to read the whole thing.

[Howlin]

It's sad for Nancy

Look at the last line of this article; it looks to me like Nancy may have known Novak was going to publish this.

I'd love to hear Michael Reagan speak at the Republican Convention.

"And Nancy didn't even get any grandchildren from her two biologicals."

Many may consider that a BLESSING!

I heard RPR and Pat Buchanan on the radio a couple of years ago, filling in for Hannity, I think, and they were debating gay marriage. RPR was so ignorant, it was impossible to debate. When Buchanan made a reference to "the Kinsey Report," RPR was completely baffled. "Who put that out? What was that?" It was evident that he thought it was some government report that came out last week, and he missed it. There were multiple examples of a lack of basic common knowledge. He is, after all, a dropout.

Of course she knew. Her astrologer told her.

[Restore]

I knew Ron (Jr.) in high school. He hasn't changed.

[BroncosFan]

In case you hadn't seen this. What a Grade-A slapdown! And I agree with one of the previous comments that this was done with, at the very least, a wink and a nod from Nancy.

[Tripoli]

Right bim

It is one hugh blessing.

[BibChr]

What'd he say?

[xJones]

I read that, and that has to be a terrible sadness for her if she had to tacitly agree with the calling down of her Bevis and Butthead-style 46 year-old son for behaving so ridiculously.

Robert Novak, and his editors are freakin' idiots.

The liberal in question is not a junior - he is Ronald Prescot Reagan....his father was Ronald Wilson Reagan. Ron P. is not a junior by any definition.

[MayflowerMadam]

All of these references to "Ron JR" aggravate me. He is NOT officially a "junior". If he were, his middle name would be "Wilson" instead of "Prescott". Let's just stop with the "Jr." from now on, since it's incorrect and provides him with tangential legitimacy. "Little Ron" or something similar would be more appropriate.
