We can agree to disagree. The outcry over the Reagan movie began with a rumor that in the film, Reagan says something like "He who lives in sin shall die in sin" about people with AIDS. At that time, just earlier this week I think, that was all the information that was available about the movie. This latest information doesn't even make sense, based on the age of the Patti Davis.

The outcry over the Mel Gibson movie began when rumors started circulating that the movie treated the role of the Jews in the crucification unfairly. Some people criticized those who were judging the movie before they saw it. Now, after clips and scripts have been seen, most people seem to take no offense to the movie.

If the movie is so bad they are off by more than a decade on Patti Davis' age, why give it all this import? It's just a stupid television movie that until now, probably wouldn't even have that large an audience. Why would liberals watch a movie about Reagan, so they won't be swayed, and conservatives already know the truth, so they won't be swayed.

Well, the rumor over the AIDs line was in one of the clips that Drudge played today, as well. The age bit is confusing but I don't know if it's Drudge that's screwing up the age or Newsmax. Newsmax has a habit of melding stories and it appears they could be doing just that.

If someone is feeding Drudge false info than that is no better than what CBS is being accused of, here. But we also already have quotes from the NY Times were the producers are admitting they essentially engaged in dramatic license with some of these events. Regardless, this has now made national news and it's more than just the pundits involved, as we see Reagan officials and current politicians now involved. It will be interesting to see how it all plays out.
