Nancy Reagan is still in mourning and I can't blame her for not wanting to get into the political fray this year. As far as I know she still supports President Bush though and I don't think her lack of appearance at the GOP convention will hurt Bush that much. I do hope Michael Reagan has an opportunity to speak in rememberance of his father though. As for Ron Reagan, he is just a spoiled brat, who clearly has never really grown up.
Ron should stick with what he knows best. Judging poodles.
Last evening I watched a replay of the 1980 Reagan acceptance speech on the history channel.....
What a contrast to see the pictures of the young George and Laura Bush sitting proudly behind George H.W. and then see a camera shot of smirky Ron Reagan on the other side of the dias. I suspect there is considerable jealousy going on there .... George W grows into the President of the US and Ron becomes....what....a has been Tutu dancer throwing bombs at the Republicans on MSNBC and touting junk science at their convention.
By the way - Laura looked great in 1980, also !!!
I heard Michael on Sean Hannity yesterday saying something akin he didn't want to make a political issue over his father's death. He made sense and I agreed with him.
