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...

My thoughts and prayers are with the Reagan family.

Ron will wait out this election.......it will be the benediction of the continuation of the Reagan Revolution.

God! I miss the Gipper.

[Soaring Feather]

The Greatest President.

Gentle passing, indeed. What a wonderful leader. Looking back fondly at his strength and conviction.

[Yossarian]

As painful as it is to think about, I fear the Altzeimers has claimed his mind long before his body would give out.

May President Reagan and his family be released soon from the clutches of this most cruel disease, and may God bless his soul.

May GOD bless Ronald Reagan. I dearly love that man for everything he did to reinstill the pride of America and being an American. My God be with him, his dear family and his beloved United States of America.

Amen.

And, thank you, sir, for your service.

[nuconvert]

He and his family have suffered long enough.

My memories of Reagan will be "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall" and his eulogy of the shuttle astronauts.

Those are the memories I recall upon of President Reagan as well when I think of him.

[Smartass]

God Bless Ronald Reagan, and his Family

[pete anderson]

If he must, go peacefully into that goodnight.

[tallhappy]

Win one for the Gipper!!!

God Bless president Reagan.

Commission the sculptors for the addition of the greatest president since Abraham Lincoln to his rightful place on Mt. Rushmore

[Don'tMessWithTexas]

Just imagine. All that clouded memory will vanish in an instant as he passes from time into eternity. May the good Lord please allow him to pass peacefully.

[deadhead]

"I wish him a gentle passing and comfort for his family."

Me too.

I was waiting to see this hit the Internet -- it was the rumor all afternoon in the newsroom where I work. All newspapers have had their Reagan (and Pope John Paul II) tributes and special sections prepared for a while now; we dusted ours off today.

Did you have to endure any snotty comments from coworkers? Or were they halfway decent?

[Mr. Buzzcut]

What a beautiful, hopeful thing to say....:)

I have my moments ... usually when the Red Hook is flowing and the metal is booming!

We all owe RWR a huge debt ... for those of us around my age (38) he is huge ... a non-Ivy Leaguer with more sense and wisdom than the entire faculty of Harvard ... unlike them, he didn't feed on unproven and largely useless theories in textbooks ... he knew the way the World works and he understood the nature of Man ... those who charicatured him as a "dunce" should have had half his intellect.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Thanks.

[ambrose]

DUers are claiming that Bush is going to kill him just at the right time for a polls bump...

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Yes.

The Family needs relief.

[GraniteStateConservative]

It would have been a real injustice for X42 or for Kerry, should he win in November, to preside over Reagan's funeral. Reagan deserves to go to Heaven's bright shore and leave behind his broken body and he deserves to not die under the presidency of a traitor. I pray for a quick end to his pain.
