[Lazamataz]

Thanks for the screen captures!

Hole in one is DA SCREEN CAPTURE MAN!

[Revolting cat!]

I got "HAIRY LOSER" but I have an N left over, so it doesn't count.

Oh yes, it does: HAIRY 'N LOSER!

[Lazamataz]

I insisted on the word LIAR in the anagram.

[Diva Betsy Ross]

You may if you watch that movie again tonight.. please be careful out there!

[T Lady]

Streisand may not be completely destroyed, but her reputation is certainly tarnished. She has allowed her politics to get in the way of what she was once really good at: Singing and entertaining. She is nothing more than a laughingstock. Even Rolling Stone, not exactly a Conservative publication, panned her latest album.

You're right - but then, I don't watch hollyweird. At least, not anymore. The problem is, other people will and may well be unduly influenced by stuff like this.

Truth be told, I was pretty young when President Reagan was in office. I feel robbed - because my opinions were largely influenced by the "big three" news media, educators and so on. Wish I knew then what I know now. God Bless Ronnie and Nancy. The truth always wins out in the end, but it's a real PITA in the interim!

[DoctorMichael]

Who's got Hollywood connections?

I do.

Unfortunately, all the people I know are Libs. I attach 'Registered' piks in my E-Mails to them......just to piss them off. ;-)

[Tailback]

The South Park creators are closet conservatives or true Libertarians. Some of their episodes are pure genius.

[Lazamataz]

Just found another one:

LIAR 'N HORSEY.

[Revolting cat!]

Thanks for the report, y'all (ain't got no cable!) I'm rather surprised, having expected a kinda Siskel & Ebert milquetoast discussion/love fest sympathetic to the, ahem, "good intentions" of the "artistes"! Perhaps CBS got semi wise and realized it had a turkey and now they're trying to earn back our trust.

[Lazamataz]

Could we pitch a Babs 'Docudrama' to them?

[hellinahandcart]

This stuff really works...

[Lazamataz]

Anagrams never lie.

[SCHROLL]

More like "the one thing we got right were their names."

[Petronski]

Really? My second choice was "Smell my finger."

[hole_n_one]

As always, my pleasure!

[T Lady]

I know, so many people out there being spoon-fed liberal gobbledy-gook, especially those who don't have access to the internet or talk radio, where you can actually learn something.

...I also have a little confession of my own to make concerning Ronald Reagan: In 1980, when I became eligible to vote, I did not vote for him. In fact, throughout the entire decade of the '80s, and while serving in the Navy, I voted Democrat, until 1992, When You-Know-Who ran for president. Looking back, all I can say is thank the Good Lord Reagan won in '80, and was re-elected four years later! It is truly hard to imagine (or stomach) what the United States would have been like under either (a) another four years of James Earl Carter, or (b) four years of Walter Mondale. Thank Heaven the majority of Americans had their heads on straight. I blame my early choices on youth and ignorance of the facts. I allowed the influence of Big Three and my racial background to cloud my judgement of a truly great leader, one that even my current Pastor acknowledges was instrumental in ending the Cold War.

I caught the last 15 minutes of this panel discussion. Is there a transcript on the Web somewhere?

[PJ-Comix]

Lou Cannon just said a cartoon couldn't get this bad.

The interesting thing about Lou Cannon is that years ago he was very hostile towards Reagan. But after many years of observing and reporting on Reagan closeup, he developed a great admiration for Reagan.

If it helps any, C-Span will be re-airing this at Midnight EST.
