Hollywood sources tell LA Weekly columnist Nikki Finke that former President Ronald Reagan's medical condition has suddenly worsened. "He really took a downslide today," the insider told Finke Friday evening. "Doctors are at the house. Things aren't good." At the start of the day, several news organizations chased down a rumor that the ex-president had died, but it wasn't true... Family members gathered at the Reagan's Bel Air home late Friday... Developing...

I was lucky enough to have a relative that worked in the Reagan White House and then at the library. I actually got to help out at a few events at the library. Mikhail Gorbachev visited shortly after he was out of office, and in addition to being able to witness such an event, I was honored with a letter from President Reagan thanking me for my help, signed by his own hand (not autopenned). Needless to say, I value it immensely. I feel very lucky to have seen the man in person; my only regret is that I never met him (and I never had the pleasure of voting for him).

:^) Yep.

Thanks for the wonderful pictures of a wonderful man. What a handsome man, whose strength of character makes him even better-looking! My prayers are that both he and his family find peace, and that after his death, whenever it is, the jackals of the press aren't able or allowed to rip apart his legacy of what he did for the world and his beloved country.

God Bless you Mr. President!! It's been an honour to have been a citizen while you were President.
Never be forgotten!!!

Thanks for the pictures Meek. I'm so sorry to awaken and read this, OTOH our President Reagan will soon be released from this horrible affliction of Alzheimers. For that, I rejoice and send praises to God.

We will keep the vigil......

may the Good Lord be with him and his family this day.....I feel we will hear later, or maybe tomorrow.....the timing seems appropriate

[MeekOneGOP]

My pleasure, thanks. :^D

The Lamestream Media will be their usual self I would bet.

I sure don't expect a "Wellstone" type "Memorial Service" out of this family when the time comes.

BTTT!

[johnb838]

Chances are we will not play this for politics but the rats will start bashing him (again) and it will be Wellstone all over again. In that people will see (again) how crass and inhumane the rats really are.

[MeekOneGOP]

You're welcomed.

The last I heard a short while back, he doesn't know who anybody is,
including himself. I have been amazed he's lasted the past two years.

[DeSoto]

You are right about that. There WILL be an outpouring of love, sympathy, and respect for this man, and it WILL affect this election. And it WON'T be positive for Kerry.

I dunno. Those hobbit hole threads are pretty dang long.

Maybe longest non-chat thread.....

What's the punch line. I must have missed this one somehow. The Queen, strait laced and straight faced, Ronald Reagan, joyous gut busting howl of happiness.

[KangarooJacqui]

That was a very touching post, Jacqui.

Stop it... (I was just being honest!)... you're making me cry again... (oops, too late, hand me a tissue, please!)

(BTW... checked out your homepage... and if you're computer illiterate, then I'm Michelangelo! :-) )

He is a political figure. Everything about him is political. He is loved because of his politics, his political acumen. He was a great President and the left hated him just as they hate GW.

His death will throw the world into mourning and the left will react with their usual vitriolic poisonous venom. I am more than sure if President Regan thought he could help his party in any way he would be delighted to do so.

He has lived longer with Alzheimer's disease than most. Eight years is about the life span and on top of his illness he is very old. Nancy has certainly cared well for him. She is the one who will suffer the most when he passes. God Bless Nancy and Ronny, and the family.

I thank God evert day that Reagan survived the Clinton administration. I couldn't bear it if Bubba gave the Presidential eulogy.

Life IS unfair. He deserves better.

I will always honor him. He brought this country back from mediocrity and made us great again.
