CLINTON: "See, I suck but I pretend I don't by not saying anything bad about Ronald Reagan. So please buy my BS and please buy my book. Which is what I want you to do and why I didn't say anything bad about Ronald Reagan".
"I especially admired his unmistakable belief that freedom is a universal value that would come in time to all people in the world, and that we all had a responsibility to help speed the coming of that day."
Tell that to Elian Gonzalez and those poor kids at Waco!
Lies, lies, lies, lies, lies, lies, lies.
The man's very breath smells like sh*t.
Kerry has to be saying to himself.......WTF?
I think the 'Toon is crediting his own victory to Reagan, in a rather indirect way.
I loved it when I read that Nancy Reagan refused to let Klintoon speak at RR's funeral...
I read that Bubba went ballistic!!! LMAO
"Of course not sir, I'm a professional Newsweek journalist. We'll use whatever remarks are in the version of your remarks DNCFAX gives us to use. "

'I sold hot dogs with Ronald Reagan.'
It was over 40 years ago, to raise money for our children's school. The future president was so cheerful to our customers. He was a great communicator even then. We sold a lot of hot dogs.
He retained that cheerful, optimistic disposition all of his lifeas president of the Screen Actors Guild, governor of California and president of the United States. Even at the end, his handwritten memo telling the world that he had Alzheimer's was devoid of any self-pity.
He gave validity to the theory that a poor American boy has a chance to grow up to become president. During his eight years in that office, he radiated that optimism to the world. Hollywood is often thought of as a home of liberal Democrats. But Hollywood's most important contribution in the political arena was Reagan: the man who won the cold war.
The dems really don't really have much choice but to grudgingly acknowledge Reagan as the 2nd Republican president they even consider as a good President (Lincoln being the first). Clinton will give credit to Reagan. In return we must bow down, worship Clinton and buy his friggin' book. Oh and we must all vote for Kerry because it's the dem's turn. We got 4 years of Dubya you know. :-)
It's a lie from beginning to end that it's not even worth parsing (He saw a lot of Reagan movies and one just last week? Pleeeze! Black churxhes burning in Arkansas?)
This guy is so full of sh*t his eyeballs are brown.
A bald faced lie.
The democrat party was NEVER interested in welfare reform - only the 1994 Republican Congress forced Clintooon to accept it. When his party objected he promised them he would "fix it" the following year. (That also was a lie but nobody ever called him on it.)
And 'strong on defense'? Please.
Amazing full frontal falsehoods. Or I guess it isn't all that amazing anymore.
Nancy Reagan was so right not to let this self-absorbed grifter take control of the podium.
Bump for later
I gaze now on the White House and think of Vince walking its halls. And that leads me to a memory from the days when Bill was governor. Hillary and Chelsea and my wife and I were up in Washington together and driving in a cab past the White House. Little Chelsea, upon seeing this big white house, began begging her mother and nanny - my wife - to take her on a tour. The supposedly sweet, motherly Hillary launched into her usual sharp scolding of her daughter. Chelsea was quiet and Hillary looked out the window at the White House, then home to President Ronald and Nancy Reagan and told her child "Chelsea, I'll take you on a White House tour when someone decent lives there!"
Secretary General of the United Nations.
Ironic since Clinton owes his very existence as a viable candidate to the Democrat Pary forming a leadership conference to deal with the Reality of Reagan.
Leave it to Newsweak to give this slug the opportunity to say what he would've said at Ronald Reagan's funeral.
Nancy Reagan has alot more sense than the folks at Newsweak.
