Apologies for the source. Here it is. I forgot it.

Its sad that he couldn't have been half the man his Dad was.

[governsleastgovernsbest]

he and his wife Doria, to whom he is still married

And Michael Jackson has been married twice.

Heck, he's not even half the dog show announcer that David Frei is. (Perhaps because he's only half as knowledgable as David.) And Ron knows even less about political truth.

I guess talent does skip a generation. At least this guys kids will be squared away.

Reagan has always been a vocal opponent of his father's political party, but never as much as he is now. He told me he will write an article of undetermined length for Esquire explaining why George W. Bush should not be re-elected.

One reason, I inferred, was that Bush has blocked stem-cell research for diseases such as Alzheimer's. Reagan is extremely clear about his feelings on this subject, since his father, who will turn 93 next month, has been felled by this insidious illness.

"It's unbelievable that Bush doesn't approve stem-cell research," Reagan said.

Here is the crux of the matter. I'd stake my immortal soul that his father would be in complete agreement with GWB.

Bush has blocked stem-cell research for diseases such as Alzheimer's

Not exactly. He blocked federal funding of stem cell research involving human embryos, and as the daughter of a victim of Alzheimer's, that doesn't offend me one bit.

Not just the ballet dancer Ron; everyone's a political expert these days: Lauren Hutton, Walter Cronkite and Moby Offer Expert Analysis; A State of the Union Bash.

A non-partisan lobbying group at the Sundance Film Festival? If I'm not mistaken, the Sundance Film Co. is run by Robert Redford, hardly a non-partisan group. And it's hardly surprising that Ron Reagan would be penning an ant- Bush column.

Sean Astin

Don't tell me Samwise Gamgee has joined the dark side!

[HairOfTheDog]

Reagan co-hosted a panel discussion yesterday for The Creative Coalition, the non-partisan lobbying group, at the Sundance Film Festival along with "Lord of the Rings" star Sean Astin, the inimitable "Joey Pants," Joe Pantoliano, and actor Kevin Pollak.

~snip~

....As for the panel discussion, I have to say that Astin is turning into a very articulate and passionate newcomer on the celebrity political scene. Some of this may be attributed to his mother, Patty, who led the Screen Actors Guild through troubled times and won a lot of respect from her peers. We can expect him to make even more of an impression as the election year drags on.

Oh I hope he is smart!

"As a result of private research, more than 60 genetically diverse stem cell lines already exist" I have concluded that we should allow federal funds to be used for research on these existing stem cell lines " where the life and death decision has already been made", This allows us to explore the promise and potential of stem cell research" without crossing a fundamental moral line by providing taxpayer funding that would sanction or encourage further destruction of human embryos that have at least the potential for life."
-- George W. Bush August 9, 2001

The non-partisan Creative Coalition is littered with Baldwins and the likes of non-partisan Susan Saranwrap.

[meandog]

I miss the presidency of his father...the worst mistake Reagan ever made, IMHO, was introducing a Bush into American politics. Now, before you flame me, I voted for GHW Bush twice and GW Bush the last time and will again; but ONLY BECAUSE THERE IS NO ONE ELSE TO VOTE FOR!

[lilylangtree]

I read somewhere that the Sundance Film Festival's pappy is none other than the ultra-liberal leftist big-time clintoonian RAT-supporter Robert Redford. Somewhere in his movies (especially "Sneakers" and "Spy Game") Redford always slams Pubbies or the Pub Party.

Isn't Ron Reagan the ballet dancer?

[montag813]

Ron Reagan, son of the former president of the United States, is set to write an editorial piece for Esquire magazine urging the end of the Bush administration.

I too am calling for the end of the Bush Administration. I demand Bush leave office by Jan 20, 2009!

[tdadams]

Who really cares what Ronald Reagan's lefty son thinks. If it weren't for riding his dad's good name, he'd be an assistant manager at Walmart while he's still trying to figure out what he wants to do when he grows up... nevermind that he's approaching 50.

[tdadams]

Reagan is extremely clear about his feelings on this subject, since his father, who will turn 93 next month, has been felled by this insidious illness.

I don't know that he really cares much about his father having Alzheimer's, but it makes for a good pretext to criticize Bush about stem cell research.
