Is anyone besides me angry at ABC's This Week Reagan love fest?

[Simeon Salus]

Did anyone pander to a President the way we still pander to this (even-then) doddering loser.

One solid hour of conservative-baby kissing.

Liberal media my ass.

1. With all the actual news that occured this last week,

most important of all are Ronnie Raygun's gentle inspiring stories of how he acted like a president in the movies would act.

2. It's a free country

Reagan was OK as president, certainly for a Repuke.

[Simeon Salus]

3. And I would have no problem with that characterization

The GOPs treat him like the first exception to the First Commandment.

[calimary]

17. uh... well... er... I wouldn't go quite that far.

With all due respect. To you, fellow DUer, NOT Raygun.

[Champion Jack]

4. Reagans gonna be Roves ace in the hole

when the negative press gets too bad for chimpy Rove will give the order to bring Ronnie out of the deep freeze for his funeral.

[DemLikr]

6. OMG, that's horrible! But really funny and probably true...

thanks for the early-morning smile. :)

7. Not if Nancy has anything to say about it

From what I've heard, she hates the Booshes. But would she agree to it for "the good of the party" and to keep St. Ronnie's "revolution" alive? Would she be Wellstoned if she put up a fuss? Time will tell.

5. Ronald Reagan was a horrible president.

Massive deficits, more military action based on lies (Libya, etc.), criminally funding his South American terrorists by selling weapons to an country hostile to the US... I could go on, but we all know what a shit head criminal Reagan was.

He was not ok.

8. It's a conspiracy. They are trying to erase the collective memory

of legends like JFK and Clinton and replace them with dimwits like Regan. After naming countless airports after him, we now hear about the letters he wrote--10,000 of them. He probably wrote them to remember what he had to do on a daily basis. I truly believe he was affected by early Alzheimers when he was in office. Remember how he bought time at almost every press conference with his trademark..."Wellll"?

The right-wing spin machine is like an octopus. They attack from every angle and this is a prime example. The problem is, it's hard to keep up. They throw so many issues out that people who are asleep don't take the time to sift through it.

[calimary]

18. They're already rewriting history at the Reagan library.

We took our fifth graders out there last year for a field trip. Oh the rhapsodizing! Especially about the great economy. Hmmm...

[nostamj]

9. it was a 30 minute COMMERCIAL

"This Weak" is now officially THIS WEAKER...

[homelandpunk]

14. and traitorous

pigf*cker, Stephy, maintained that approving sanguine smile all through the bullshit-fest as he hosted the sickening spectacle, not missing a beat to add a Jane Fonda bash snippet.
I need a bucket.

[kskiska]

10. Just think…

someday we may be treated to the present "occupant's" jottings. Imagine what his spelling must be like.

[nostamj]

11. it will be a 4-page pamphlet

with LOTS of pictures and 20p type...

12. What do you expect from Little Judas Stephanopoulos?

I feel asleep with the TV on the local ABC station last night. The first sounds to reach my newly conscious mind this AM was Little Judas in full verbal prostration with Batwoman (is that a bad face lift, BTW, or does she always look surprised?).
I had to get up to turn the Suckfest off. A trip to the facilities, and a fresh cup of coffee later and here I am.

Georgie is just getting fitted for the fishnet stockings and four-inch stilletto heels currently worn by ABC's Champion Streetwalker, Diane Soywhore.

19. "I feel asleep with the TV on"

I agree....the whole thing is soooo boring.
I think even a Reagan lover and devout repug
would go into a mini coma on this.

[kentuck]

13. They're going after a targeted audience because...

their ratings are in the tank. Hoping to get the Reagan lovers ..with a little touch of sex (Playboy) added to get a few extra viewers...

[LWolf]

15. No.

I didn't know it was going on. I don't watch tv much, and almost never watch tv news.

[Jen72]

16. Maybe the man is about to peg it.
