Will Ferrell has backed out of a comedy about Ronald Reagans struggle with Alzheimers disease following outrage from the former presidents family.
The 48-year-old comic confirmed Friday that while he had seen the script and considered signing on to star and produce Reagan, he was no longer going ahead with the project.

I posted this minutes ago, and it seems to have had its effect:
Time and time again, we have seen entertainment industry leftists deliberately push, poke, and slash the outer edges of the envelope of public civility and good taste, in a seemingly mindless effort to somehow profit from the resulting outrage.
They are continuing a tradition of extreme rhetorical distortion that began in the sixties, and continues anachronistically today in the minds and hearts of these leftist inspired, money grubbing, hypocrites who think of themselves as actors, performers, singers, movie producers, etc.
Fraud and bad taste used in this way, should by all rights denigrate and blacken the reputations and future of those perpetrators. The question then and the variable that might end this kind of execrable behavior is the reaction of the intended audience.
Therefore, let us all add this vile persons name to the list of those that sink into oblivion, along with the Dixie Chicks, Ralph Nader, Bill Maher, and other fools. Ignore them and their filth.
In his one-man broadway show, he spent 95 minutes ridiculing W
Apparently that was not the case at all..........
As to Ferrell, he showed his only conviction is towards money, nothing more. I'd have more respect for him if he had continued with that "project", loathsome as it may be. Could've used that publicity to promote continued research.
My grandmother died end stage Alzheimers. I would not wish that fate on my worst enemy.
Good gnus!
I’m gonna write a screen play about Clinton getting demented from his Neuro Syphilis. A real knee slapper .....
[[I cant stand Wil Ferrell but I have a modicum of respect for him...an iota of a gram of a modicum respect...now that he has done this.]]
I’m not sure i have even a 1/4 of that as it is very apparent that the only reason he backed out likely was because he was taking heat for it
[[I really love the guy but I consider it an outrage that he considered this project even for one microsecond.
this really change my opinion of him.]]
That sums up what a lot of us htink i think
This isn’t just an insult to the Reagan family and the memory of Ronald Reagan, but also all those who have Alzheimer’s and their families. It’s no joking matter.
Pansy @$$ liberal sh*thead provoked a bigger firestorm than he realized.
Seriously, this was a HORRIBLE idea from the start. Farrell should be embarrassed, but Im sure he is not.
In the liberal echo chamber they mock Reagan all the time. They were surprised there are people who might not think it was funny.
resistant?? Not familiar with that term as applied to dementia. My great-grandmother lived until I was "five-ish", and suffered from dementia. My mom (only child) was caregiver at home.
Even the though is repulsive. But the bottom line....It was all about money...wasn’t it Will.
Liberals LOATHE and REVILE Reagan. They hate him with a seething-hot white hatred. He single-handedly set back their plans for political dominance at least a quarter-century (and likely longer when you consider he took out their beloved USSR).
Where we are today with Obama, we would have arrived in the mid-80’s were it not for Reagan. Likely a full-blown Communist state by today.
They will never, ever forgive him for this, and will keep taking their shots where they can.
He was a POS who was all for this, until Davis made him a COWARD.
LOL!
I think I may be allergic to Will Ferrell. He has NEVER made me laugh - nothing. I don’t get him.
Now, take Free Republic; that’s where I laugh almost every day - sometimes until my stomach hurts and eyes water.
This news is very upsetting to the 12 people who actually saw “W.”
This guy is just not funny. What a bunch of hacks we call comedians today. I’d rather watch Who’s on first than any of these so called comedies today.
Can’t wait for that remake /reboot of ghostbusters with the ectoplasm tampons.
