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. Now that's a real knee slapper!
What didnt the press know? That RR hated communism? That he loved Nancy? That he was a tax cutter? That he was a man of God and for a strong national defense?
It was for these, and many more reasons, why they hated him so much.

Reagan was the LAST impressive Republican President. There you go. Fixed.

Give her a break. The word “yo-yo” wasn’t well known until it’s entry into American-Filipino Dictionaries in the 1860’s, so Madam Thomas would never have heard the toy referred to as such. Maybe her children had a few “yo-yos”, but she probably played with them as “bangalores” or “quizzes”.

That’s “bandalore” not “bangalore” you idiot.

I am sure the press could have done a better job if we had known the real Ronald Reagan. Scum-sucking harridan. If you'd been better at your jobs, you would have known the real Ronald Reagan. FOAD, diseased hag.
To: seanmerc
Unlike President Richard M. Nixon, he did not have an "enemies list" of members of the press So what do you day Helen, do you think Hilliary has an "enemies list?"

Oh, I dunno... "Up and down," maybe? What's not to understand? More evidence that the old witch is utterly clueless.Emotionally cancerous skanks like Helen don't have "ups and downs." They only have "downs and downers."

Next time post the picture like Beelzebubba did, if you must!

That's precisely what I thought. Anyone that's had a 'difficult' child, which is probably most people, knows precisely what this means. Sometimes you get along, sometimes you don't.
She can't be that dim.
To: seanmerc
I actually had the opportunity to meet Helen Thomas. I don’t know too much about her political views, but on a personal level, she’s a very, very nice lady.

Any praise she or any other Democrat media shill offers to Reagan now is intended solely as a criticism of Bush by comparison. Very true. Still, this is the closest thing I’ve read to a good, factual column by Helen Thomas-— that is to say, not everything in it other than “Helen” and “Thomas” is an out and out falsehood.
That's a serious shock (to me), almost on the level of when Maureen Dowd inexplicably and uncharacteristically showed self-deprecating rather than nasty humor in relating teasing from her wise, solidly conservative Rush Limbaugh listening family in a column that was actually well written and fun to read.

On Oct. 13, 1981, Reagan said he met with "J.C." -- former President Jimmy Carter -- adding: "I expected the worst, but he was cordial, friendly and just exchanged views on the Middle East, etc."Jimmah saved his worst for us.

Also revealing were his tensions with his children -- Ronald Reagan Jr., who he said was anxious to shed his Secret Service protection, and Patti, who Reagan said had a "yo-yo relationship" with the family, whatever that means. Has Helen forgotten 'Patti'. . .her public maneuverings rising from her 'angst'. . .her 'tell all'? Or; does she think we have. . .
That said; Helen better be careful; being a Liberal means 'never having to say you are sorry'.
Sounds like she is getting close here.
