You are right about Ron. I will add he hates W with a passion only rivalled by Mark Morford. It was undoubtedly a catty slam at our current president. Notice no attempts at political points were made by anyone other than a flaming lib trying to have his Wellstone moment, albeit in a slightly more subtle way. The libs in general, knowing how beloved Reagan still is, have been turning the trick of co-opting him and trying to contrast President Bush unfavorably. The truth is they hated Reagan with the same venom and for the same reasons when he was politically viable and able to crush them.
the dems were complaining their "perspective" wasn't included in the funeral. Well, it looks as if Ron gave them their wish and merfifully, it was brief. He is old enough to know better and too old to grow up and he had his moment. It was inappropriate and mean spirited. He made it "all about him" for his few minutes. I guess there is always a person who does this at a funeral. I thought it was unforgivable and a dishonor to his father and mother. But in the big scheme of things, he is unimportant. It didn't spoil anything for me just reminded me that RR like all of us has a few relatives who embarass us at times.
