To say Michael Reagan is scolding his younger brother, Ron Reagan, as the latter prepares to address the Democratic National Convention next week would be an understatement. We'll let the transcript of a most revealing radio interview with the elder Mr. Reagan, broadcast this week on "Newsbeat" with Blanquita Cullum, speak for itself.
Q: So tell me what's with your brother? Why is your brother, Ron, going over and speaking at the Democratic convention? He's an angry guy.
A: Because he wasn't invited by Ralph Nader.
Q: Oh yeah, very interesting.
A: I mean that's a reality. I think he voted for Ralph Nader last time around.
Q: But you said he never voted for your dad.
A: No, you know, that's why [my late sister] Maureen and I were put on a plane to cancel out his vote and [my sister] Patti Davis' vote. I mean they never have been supportive of my dad's policies ... I mean remember during the '80s?
Q: Oh, I do.
A: He was demonstrating against him and doing all this other stuff and —

The wrong Ron Reagan is laying in the ground right now.
I thank God that Ron Jr. is speaking for the democrats. I wouldn't want the likes of that clown on our side.

When Ronald Reagan was honored with a ship named after him, where was Jr? He snears at his father's accomplishments. He is not worthy of being held up in the same forum of his father. I would not want to see him being given any air time by people who admire and respect his dad. Nope. None. I sure do miss Maureen.
A tights-wearing, Nader-voting, girlie-man if there ever was one.
Michael Reagan is a great Republican. Some get MSNBC to fire Ron!!!!!!!!
to call him a girlie-man is a stretch. There is nothing manly about him.
Good point. And calling him "girlie" is an insult to girls, as well.
So true.
Isn't that up to the Lord?
Dog show analyst is an incomparable asset that he brings to MBSNBC.
HE Didn't vote for his father???
WHAT A LOSER
Ignore this floater.
I just want to know when Flaming Ron decided to make his voice sound like Keith Carradine....is he trying to be folksy?
I knew way back when he "married" the old woman that she was just his beard.
This guy clearly has even more serious personal problems than I suspected.
So maybe that movie "angry white men" was really about little Ronny Reagan.
I'm sure you'll care at all, but I find that comment really nasty.
Wishing someone dead because they disagree politically is exceedingly small minded (IMHO).
Yep, just as Ronstadt was Moonbeam's.
And I have to wonder about a guy who doesn't have his dad's back.
You know what I think Ron Prescott has some emotional issues with his father and mother
He is one twisted psycholly wise I THINK
BOY what a loser
WE DON'T WANT HIM! YOU CAN HAVE HIM! If he wasn't loyal to his dad, he would never be loyal to me!!!
