Ya sometimes wonder who was actually adopted?

If memory serves, Commodus was the natural son of Marcus Aurelius. It didn't do him, or the Romans, any good.

You two are absolutely correct!
I only referred to the twerp as Jr., because Novak did.
However can you come up with something more appropriate than "Little Ron"?

I can't understand what's going in his mind; leaving aside the stem cells, which he has a perfect right to push, the uncalled for gratuitous swipes at Bush at "perceived" actions gives me pause; perhaps he has some issues with the way he treated his parents and is now trying to redeem himself in his own mind.

The one thing I hope is that nobody asks her to speak at the GOP convention.

How 'bout Liberal-atheist Ron P. Reagan...after all, the media likes to use labels like ultra-conservative in connection with Newt Gingrich all the time.

This is more than a wayward son, at age 46 with a career seemingly going nowhere, seeking 15 minutes of fame.

This says it all. Lil' Ron has no trouble using his father's death for his personal gain. Sad. Disgusting. Liberal. Sorry, didn't mean to be so redundant

Ron Twerp said he received a letter from Buckley and that he thought Buckley was going to keep it private.

Actually I CAN come up with something more appropriate -- but definitely not nice or post-able.

Ron Jr. is crying for attention, just like his sister Patti did most of her life. As far as appearing at the convention, it will have little if any impact on voters. It just reveals again, that Ron Jr. ain't the brightest bulb on the tree.

According to The Corner, Mr. Buckley will be on Rush's show at 2:00 Eastern. Could be interesting...

I also read elsewhere that Buckley will be on HARDBALL today, one day after Ron announced on that show that Kerry promised him the first thing he'd do as President is overturn the ban on stem cell research. Again, could be interesting.

Novak should know better than to call RPR "Ron, Jr."

Different mothers, different environments.....Nancy, being a very needy woman, siphoned off most of the care that young children need. The children finally gave up and the only way to get their father's attention was to be in opposition to him in every aspect of their lives.

"Michael is more Reagan than Reagan's own flesh and blood..."

All the Reagan children filled my eyes with tears. Michael because of the admiration for his father that came through his talk. I was so touched by Michael's thankfulness that Ronald Reagan shared his faith with Michael. I'm sure that the Gipper was so proud. Ronald and Patti filled my eyes with tears because I'm sure that the Gipper was so ashamed of them. Sad that such a great man could have such losers as children.

Probably was going to keep it private until he realized Ron wasn't going to shut his mouth.

He has signed with MSNBC as a ''contributor'' for the 2004 campaign.

Can MSNBC be any less transparent? The only time they hire a "Reagan" and he's the liberal black sheep.

Is MSNBC going to go out of it's way to hire the most Conservative member in the Kennedy family? (assuming one exists)
