[Lazamataz]

Lou Cannon: "I'm not conservative's favorite... liberals call me... I wanted to like this movie.... I didn't like that it was a horrible movie..."

[Lazamataz]

NOSY LIAR HER says the absence of anything good Ronald did doesn't matter because this was a love story and that it was only about their relationship.

That's why we call her NOSY LIAR HER.

[kristinn]

Now showing scene of Reagan and Gorbachev debating SDI in Geneva.

Sesno says no "tear down this wall," no arms reduction, no scenes of the Berlin Wall being torn down.

[T Lady]

Hillary's spinning again...talking about this being about the Reagans' relationship...everything else, I suppose-the great economy the former president created, the end to the Cold War-is just irrelevant. Moronic cow.

-Regards, T.

[Petronski]

Anyone in the audience want to give it to me like this?

[Lazamataz]

Martin Andersen: It was a little hate movie. Watch it if you want. Just don't pay attention to it.

Chavez: Bad melodrama. Horrible movie. Motivated to denigrate the Reagans.

[Petronski]

Laz, I forgot to ask you last night: When eating Ramen, do you boil the whole brick, or snap it in half first?

There's only two kinds of people in the whole world, you know...

[ClintonBeGone]

That Hillary Rozen is as bad as Hillary Clinton.

[Lazamataz]

Summary: The liberals were savaged in this segment. Hat's off to Sesno who allowed the conversation to flow naturally. The term 'little hate movie' was used at least 5 times. Even some of the liberals seemed appalled.

Next stop: Barbra Streisand.

Who's got Hollywood connections? Isn't it about time there was a docudrama about Babs?

[T Lady]

Chavez nails it: Motivated to denigrate the Reagans. I also like what Sesno said at the end of the discussion: Read more!

-Regards, T.

[kristinn]

Summation: Anderson: Hate movie Kalb: Entertainment. Rosen: Reflects current political divisiveness. Anthony:Suppoters see Reagans, Clintons, Carter, etc. as political symbols. Chavez: Intent of movie to denigrate Reagans'legacy. Cannon: Movie should have stuck to facts.

[Lazamataz]

Laz, I forgot to ask you last night: When eating Ramen, do you boil the whole brick, or snap it in half first?

I lick it until it's edible.

Heh heh heh heh....

[kristinn]

Read more! Sesno sums it up nicely.

[Lazamataz]

Sesno just went up a notch in my eyes.

[hole_n_one]

haha!

[Diva Betsy Ross]

I have taken a personal interest in seriously embarrassing Barbra Streisand, who's fingers are all over this. I want to see her completely politically destroyed. I'm not sure how I will accomplish this. But I will.

May I join you?

[kristinn]

Thanks for the screen captures!

[Lazamataz]

May I join you?

Why, am I coming apart?
