I agree with all your remarks about Ron Jr. That earlobe story was beyond stupid. And of course that was a dig about President Bush. It was a slap in the face to all Bush supporters. As soon as I heard that remark, I thought, that creep couldn't let even his father's funeral go by without taking a political shot. Ron is another Al Franken-he masks his vicious barbs with humor and everyone gives him a pass. He is a Bush-hating liberal, I don't care how much Chris Matthews gushes over him. His sister probably is too, but to her credit, she showed a lot of class this week.
Who the Reagan family is is not our choice to make.
For all you know, that was a running family joke that brought it's other members great comfort at the time. Not to repeat myself, but this ceremony wasn't designed to entertain you; it was intended as a last chance for Reagan's family to say their goodbyes.
Agreed.
