[Alberta's Child]

You must have me confused with someone else. ;-)

Whoever this someone else is -- could you do me a favor and ask him to Freepmail me? I need some help installing Windows 2000 on my computer here. LOL!!

[Victoria Delsoul]

LOL, hopefully the IT guy would be able to help you. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

[Alberta's Child]

Thanks for keeping me in mind. I think I'm going to need all the crossed fingers I can get!!

It's because the NYT etal see nothing wrong with portraying RR as a bumbling wimp and Nancy as a wall to wall bitch - both of which came across on the many excerpts that Drudge broadcast on Rush in October.

The film opens in 1987 with a hurt, bewildered Mr. Reagan discussing the possibility of impeachment over the Iran-Contra affair with his adviser Michael Deaver, as Mrs. Reagan hovers over him.

The film starts with a slanderous lie and goes downhill from there.

the film denies Mr. Reagan the Mount Rushmore-John Ford grandeur that his image-makers worked so hard to project.

Oppps, Alessandra, you were trying so hard to hide your partisanship but right here you definitely slip up.

His "image-makers"? Sorry lil lady, your horns are showing, if you hear his radio broadcasts and his speeches, you would already understand that Reagan projected his face onto Mt Rushmore with little or no help from anyone.
