LOS ANGELES (AP) Sarah Palin is honoring one Reagan and offending another with the same speech.
The former Alaska governor is scheduled to speak in Santa Barbara, Calif., on Friday at a tribute to former President Ronald Reagan just one of the celebrations marking the centennial of the 40th president's birth on Feb. 6.
But his son, Ron Reagan, tells The Associated Press he doesn't see anything in common between his dad and the 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate, who was invited to speak by the event's sponsor, the conservative Young America's Foundation.
"Sarah Palin is a soap opera, basically. She's doing mostly what she does to make money and keep her name in the news," Reagan says.
"She is not a serious candidate for president and never has been," said Reagan, a political independent whose politics lean left.

LOL. Straight from the *Show Me* state. That works!
and little ronny has nothing in common with a man....
Actually, the reverse is true. Palin has LOTS in common with the elder Ron Reagan, but the younger Ron Reagan has very little in common with him.
Good point. His only claim to fame is that he happens to be related to someone of note while Palin’s attention comes from things that she has done herself. This is probably part of why he doesn’t like her. Lesser people are so envious of greater ones and he knows he hasn’t accomplished anything on his own and lives in his dad’s shadow.
Ron Reagan has nothing to do with his father.
Reagan thinks irony is a metal like goldy or silvery.
Bravo! Great comment.
Thanks, but once in a while the comments just about write themselves when it comes to Lefties.
I appreciate the note.
First thing he's ever said that I agree with. Stopped clock and all that.
I saw that on “You Tube” awhile back. I mentioned it on “Free Republic” a couple 2 or 3 times and never got a reply, which was strange! You’re the first one, besides me, who has even brought it up! I could be wrong, though; other people might have noticed it on “You Tube”, and brought it up on here. I just haven’t seen it until now, in your post!
I didn’t see it on YouTube, but you don’t have to be brilliant to make the connection.
It’s just sad that Dutch has such an embarrassment for a son.
Awwww! Shucks, ma’am!
