I was in Rockport, MA that day with my GF, it was a beautiful spring Saturday. I remember reading a blurb on Drudge about RR’s failing health the day before, so I surmised the end was near. My Mom called me and told me the news around ~6 pm. I just started weeping uncontrollably. We left and drove home. I remember WRKO had a special call-in segment that we were listening to on the ride back and I called in and told the host, I think it was Scott Allen Miller, how I felt fortunate to be living in America while RR was president.
I still feel that way - he is still the best.
I also feel very fortunate to have been here when President Reagan was in Office. I was a bit young to be involved with politics, and I regret not really appreciating him as he served. I do remember that the media at the time were not kind to him or Mrs.Reagan. Since starting my education at The Rush Limbaugh Institute 15 years ago, I have learned a lot about Reagan and a lot about the media. My BS Meter works fine thanks to Rush.
