It almost aounds as though Helen actually misses Ronaldus Magnus.

“As a reporter having covered him for eight years in the White House, I am sure the press could have done a better job if we had known the real Ronald Reagan.”

Yea sure, Helen.

dont tease me helen you sexy wench!

[seenenuf]

History will not be so kind to this ol’ bitter bitty. The
book has been out for weeks — what took her so long? Perhaps she has been digesting some of her old opinions
about the Great One.

[nmh]

Reagan was the LAST impressive Republican President. The others are something to be ashamed of for one reason or another ... Bush Sr. opening the door for abortion and this “big tent” crap. GWB ... immigration and destroying our country with ILLEGALS ... .

NOW I get it - HT is the Reagan Years version of Maureen Dowd!

She secretly had a crush on RR!

LOL, Helen, Helen, Helen. You were too busy hating everything about Reagan, lying about him and trying to destroy him. You had no time to really get to know the real Ronald Reagan, and I doubt you really care. But nice work at trying to revise history by pretending you gave a damn.

Are you sure this is from Helen 'Medusa' Thomas? Where's all the bitter hatred, the putrid bile spewing from her lobster-like piehole everytime a Republican is mentioned?

[Loyal Buckeye]

I’m about 300 pages in and am enjoying the Diaries very much.

Helen neglects noting that RR was on the money with his comments about the press and anti-American actions by people such as Chris Dodd.

[dellbabe68]

Honestly, I truly laughed out loud when I saw this one!

Very good.

Patti, who Reagan said had a "yo-yo relationship" with the family, whatever that means.

Oh, I dunno... "Up and down," maybe? What's not to understand? More evidence that the old witch is utterly clueless.

[Vigilanteman]

So another Lieberal has figured out the Ronald Reagan was a genius. Maybe in another 10 years, they will figure out he was also the best president produced in at least the last century.

[Mr. Jeeves]

“As a reporter having covered him for eight years in the White House, I am sure the press could have done a better job if we had known the real Ronald Reagan.”

Any praise she or any other Democrat media shill offers to Reagan now is intended solely as a criticism of Bush by comparison.

Like the song goes:

Helen Thomas in the July 1993 Good Housekeeping:

"All of us who covered the Reagan's agreed that President Reagan was personable and charming. But I'm not so certain he was nice. It's hard for me to think of anyone as nice when I hear him say ‘The homeless are homeless because they want to be homeless.' To my mind, a President should care about all people, and he didn't, which is why I will always feel Reagan lacked soul."

[GeorgefromGeorgia]

Reagan was one of our best Presidents. Bush 41 did some good things, like how he handled the fall of the SU and the reunification of Germany. Of course, his agreement with RATS to raise taxes was a bad idea, just like Bush 43’s idea about immigration reform.
Reagan had a vision and persevered to act on that vision. FDR was the last President with that, but he was a socialist. I fear that our next President will be a step down, even from Bush 43. It may be back to the future with Hillary?

When you look at Helen Thomas, just think “Mo Dowd in 30 years”

[Tokra]

As Doris Day knew (and apparently Helen Thomas) - just coat that camera lens with gobs of vaseline and ANYONE can look good.

I got this book for father’s day from my kids. I haven’t had much time to get into it (only about half way through 1981), but so far it is a fantastic book and definately worth reading.

I think you nailed it.
