I remember the first time I saw Rachel Maddow on MSNBC’s Tucker Carlson show. As is my annoying (to the rest of my house full of normal people) habit, I was working on other things with the TV turned up, keeping up with political arguments, but not just vegging on the couch and devoting my full attention. “Can you turn that off?” I asked my wife who was walking past the blaring tube, “I can’t deal with Ron Reagan Junior’s smug act right now.” She looked at me quizzically and said, “Umm, I’m pretty sure that’s a woman…” As we...

"A few of you may be surprised to see someone with my last name showing up to speak at a Democratic convention," Ron Reagan Jr. said. Reagan never mentioned Bush by name. But he chastised those "who would deny federal funding so crucial to basic research" that could help find cures for an array of diseases, including Alzheimer's, which took his father's life....

"We now know that he (Al Gore) would have won Florida," proclaimed Ronald Prescott Reagan, son of the late President Ronald Wilson Reagan. Ron made this incredible declaration during MSNBC"s Chris Matthews' show, as they reported about former Vice President Al Gore's speech at the Democratic National Convention. When asked by Matthews how does he know this, Ron remarked that there was a "consortium" of newspapers who counted the votes in Florida and determined that Gore would have won. Matthews incredibly confirmed this by saying Gore would have won the election if he requested a statewide vote recount in Florida....

To say Michael Reagan is scolding his younger brother, Ron Reagan, as the latter prepares to address the Democratic National Convention next week would be an understatement. We'll let the transcript of a most revealing radio interview with the elder Mr. Reagan, broadcast this week on "Newsbeat" with Blanquita Cullum, speak for itself. Q: So tell me what's with your brother? Why is your brother, Ron, going over and speaking at the Democratic convention? He's an angry guy. A: Because he wasn't invited by Ralph Nader. Q: Oh yeah, very interesting. A: I mean that's a reality. I think he...

Ronald Reagan (news - web sites)'s spiritual heirs will fill the halls of the Republican National Convention in late August, but the Democrats have secured his flesh and blood for a prime-time spot at this month's bash in Boston. Ron Reagan, the late president's 46-year-old son, plans to use the global platform of the Democratic National Convention to endorse embryonic stem-cell experiments, an area of research that some think his father would have opposed but which his mother supports. Politically, the booking is a triumph for the Democratic ticket of Sens. John F. Kerry and John Edwards (news - web...

Ron Reagan, Jr., admitted Monday night that embryonic stem cell research will probably be absolutely useless in the quest to find a cure for Alzheimer's disease - throwing cold water on the big media's campaign to sell the controversial science as medically effective in battling the affliction that killed Reagan's father. "Alzheimer‘s is a disease, ironically, that probably won‘t be amenable to treatment through stem cell therapies," Reagan told MSBC's Chris Matthews. So why have he and his mother, former first lady Nancy Reagan, made stem cell research their cause celeb? "For people to suggest that [Nancy Reagan] shouldn’t support...

He just announced this on Hardball; he said that Kerry told him this personally on the phone while they were discussing Reagan's appearance at the Democratic Convention that his first act in office if he's elected will be to sign an executive order to reverse Bush's stem cell policy.

RON REAGAN TO ADDRESS DNC Making the rounds today is a story hot off the presses that Ron Reagan, Jr. is going to address the Democratic National Convention this month.

You see, the Bush administration is opposed to federal funding of stem cell research, which some say could one day help Alzheimer's patients like Ron Reagan's father. But the left and the media have done a...
