The Reagans hooplah

[Dis]

yep, the conservatives are dumbasses. I don't think they would accept anything less than portraying Reagan as god.

It's similar to the flap about the Mel Gibson movie. People are making opinions about a movie they have never seen.

That's not quite what he says...he's saying that they've brought it upon themselves. While it's still not a great thing, it's not the same as "I want them to die." Considering his attitudes towards homosexuality, I don't doubt that it's accurate. And it certainly presents Nancy as being a very compassionate person, which ain't exactly something she's normally known for.

:shrug: Same difference really.

The problem was that was no supporting documentation that he actually ever said that.

It doesn't matter to what extent this is accurate -- you vehemently believe that there no such thing as a homophobic Republican.

You have some special insight into his attitudes toward homosexuality? Be sure to tell his very good friend Merv Griffin...

All bend the knee to the Divine Conducator, St. Ronald of the Gipper Will, Conservator of the Undyed Spirit Hair, slayer of the Chernenko Monster of the Kremlin, whose coming was foretold by St Bonzo of Bedtime, Abbot of King's Row!

I still enjoy the story about Reagan saying that Nancy told him the dog had seen a ghost in the White House. I feel the Memoirs of St Ronald of Assisi should detail the powers of the psychic talking dog. Did it feature in the film Boris?

Okay, after all the fuss, I finally saw the movie on Showtime.

All I have to say is:

What the @#$^%*&! was the problem with the Republicans? This film is perhaps the best propaganda piece for Reagan you could have! It makes him a tragic hero of near-Shakespearian proportions. I was liking the guy after the movie!

Seriously, the movie is actually pretty good, and I think it's pretty flattering to the Reagans. Sure, it shows them as less-than-perfect, but they are human, aren't they? If anything, its inaccuracies were in Reagan's favor, as ANY bad aspect of his political career was presented as a well-intentioned man being manipulated and misled by the people who surrounded him.

Brolin's performance, btw, was brilliant. I mean, he IS Reagan in the movie. I can only think he'd be destined for an Emmy if it weren't for the whine-fest from the GOP.

You are gay. You saw him as the total top to protect you from the evil no-reach-arounders from the USSR.

It's difficult for us to take you seriously about a lot of things.
