Dingell Joins Republicans to Protest CBS’s Mini-Series "The Reagans"

Demands "Fair and Balanced" Portrayal of 40th President

Washington, D.C. – Congressman John D. Dingell (D-MI) today joined the Rev. Jerry Falwell, Members of Congress and conservative pundits in demanding that CBS ensure that its upcoming two part mini-series "The Reagans" is an accurate portrayal of the Reagan legacy. In a letter to CBS President Leslie Moonves, Dingell wrote, "I trust that CBS will not be a party to a distorted presentation of American history."

Rep. Dingell, who served in the Congress during both of President Reagan’s terms in office, offered this advice to Mr. Moonves:

"As someone who served with President Reagan, and in the interest of historical accuracy, please allow me to share with you some of my recollections of the Reagan years that I hope will make it into the final cut of the mini-series: $640 Pentagon toilets seats; ketchup as a vegetable; union busting; firing striking air traffic controllers; Iran-Contra; selling arms to terrorist nations; trading arms for hostages; retreating from terrorists in Beirut; lying to Congress; financing an illegal war in Nicaragua; visiting Bitburg cemetery; a cozy relationship with Saddam Hussein; shredding documents; Ed Meese; Fawn Hall; Oliver North; James Watt; apartheid apologia; the savings and loan scandal; voodoo economics; record budget deficits; double digit unemployment; farm bankruptcies; trade deficits; astrologers in the White House; Star Wars; and influence peddling."

Rep. Dingell concluded, "I hope you find these facts useful in accurately depicting President Reagan’s time in office."

I used to think Rep. Dingell had some class, when you consider that he often dissents from other Democrats on gun ownership.

Now I find out he is part of the looney-left.

Did Dingbatt serve when Jimmah Cartah was in office ?

Dingellberry left out - Restoring faith in America, A great military, a good economy. How come the left calls the eighties the decade of greed if the economy was "so bad". Can you have a decade of greed with a crappy economy. I also remember the demoncraps being in control of Congress? Didn't spending contribute to the deficit if the gov's take home pay doubled?
