Ron Reagan Jr. Steps Up to Bat With Left Chat

Observer ^ | 07/30/03 | Joe Hagan

I saw the program. He looked stiff and Buchanan totally dominated the show. He parroted obvious liberal positions and, in a nutshell, was dull.

[facedown]

Regarding Ms. Coulter’s recent comment about Joseph McCarthy being an American patriot, for instance, Mr. Reagan said that "to dignify those remarks by refuting them takes time.

It also takes a mind, of which Ron, evidently, doesn't have.

[freekitty]

I wonder what it's like ambling through life trading off your father's good name?

[Ann Archy]

I hardly ever disagree with you, but I saw RR JR yesterday and he was banal. Even Deborah Orin dismissed his snide comments like a piece of toilet paper on her shoe.

It's UNSEEMLY to have a son go after a father this way. Even some liberals will think this is sickening and actually feel sorry for Ron AND Nancy....leaving Poofta Boy out in the cold.

Memo to Ron: Stick to the boys at the kennel club.

And what happens at the funeral of Ronald Reagan? Will the son be there comforting his Mother? Is he surfacing now so that when President Reagan dies, he will get the highpaying, high profile insider gig of covering the funeral for MSNBC.

Oh what an awful idea to contemplate--it must have hurt you to type it.

Reminds me of my nightly prayer during the last years of the i42, that President Reagan would outlive that criminal regime...I heard that Nancy would have a private funeral rather than let the Clintons be involved.

Thats my point exactly, it's like you want to hold him tight and rock him and whisper in his ear, "it's all right, it will be all right.. if you start praying hard now my son, and keep it up until the end, you still could have a shot at purgatory".

"Reminds me of my nightly prayer during the last years of the i42, that President Reagan would outlive that criminal regime"

Me too, me too! But of course we know Clinton will insert himself into any situation, what a shame former presidents get to do that so easily.

Nancy Reagan looks so frail, I imagine its a good thing all President Reagan's Funeral and Memorial Services plans have long been made and finalized.

Just for memory jog, I found this, cause we know no matter what President Bush does when President Reagan dies, the left will balk.

Let's remind em what Clinton did for Nixon, besides making a syrupy, hypocritical eulogy:

" Clinton declared a national day of mourning, and said he would attend Nixon's funeral, which will be held at the Richard Nixon Library and Birthplace in Yorba Linda, Calif., on Wednesday at 4 p.m. California time. The body of the former congressman, U.S. senator, vice president and president will travel aboard a presidential jet to his native California, and public viewing will be from 3 p.m. Tuesday until 11 a.m. Wednesday"

[YaYa123]

We need to remember Ronald Reagan's other children, all of whom might be accused of trading off their Father's name. Michael and Maureen.

I adored Maureen, and unfortunately, she never got the credit she deserved for starting the trend of bright conservative women speaking out. She wasn't blonde, she wasn't svelte, but man oh man was she a fabulous voice for the right!

[RightWingNut]

It's strange that the most "conservative" child of Ronald Reagan, is the one that's adopted, Michael !!

[YaYa123]

and I most often agree with you...but we sure aren't "mind numbed robots", cause I watched Deborah Orin too, and came away feeling he asked great questions of her and the other guest (I forget who she was). Crap...I even forget the specifics of the interview. Is there a transcript...I would really like to be specific on why I thought he did such a surprisingly good job of asking questions.

[shhrubbery!]

"I think the bar is set higher for liberals," he said. "It’s easy to be Ann Coulter."

I'd like to see you try, Ron.

[mr.pink]

It would be fun to see her chew him up and spit him out.

FYI-She's doing exactly that at this very moment.
