Ron Reagan Jr. Acts Like A Colossal Goon

My hat is off to Pamela, again, this time for tolerating the insufferable Ron Reagan, Jr. What a Solomon to Rehoboam transition for that family. Nancy, you love your son, I’m sure, but the same mouth that knows Governor Palin “hasn’t got a thought in her head” is entirely too quick to slice Pamela off at the ankles for “not having met my father.”

What a contemptible, cretinous performance by the son of a great American. Wikipedia says that he’s been lurking on MSNBC and Air America. The reasons are obvious. Sadly, I’d say his career has already peaked.


I’ll paraphrase an Onion horosocope I saw at some point in the past:

Junior, you’re your own man, and no one can tell you what to do, but you’ve really got to quit snorting all that Drano.

    Pam is absolutely right. Ronald Reagan was called “an amiable dunce” by Clark Clifford. Garry Trudeau had a series in Doonesbury called “In Search of Reagan’s Brain” For his son to deny or ignore this in order to make political points against Pam and Sarah Palin is despicable.

    It gave me a little bit more pleasure than it probably should have that Clifford ended his legal career in the blast zone of the BCCI mess.

    You couldn’t pay me enough to appear on the Joy Behar show. I love how it’s always a 3-to-1 progg vs. conservative ratio (as on The View).

    If Behar had any courage at all, she’d invite Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin, and Mark Steyn on at the same time and see what happens.

    I would pay to see that. I would pay a lot.

    Geller may never have met him Ron, but you sure as hell never bothered to know him.

    Oh, Dicentra- Ann Coulter has been on a few times and it was AWESOME. You know how she could get Alan Colmes sooo angry by basically laughing in his face the entire time back when it was H&C-like that.

    His is not Jr. They have different middle names. They also have always been 180 degrees different in politics. When the LAT ran articles on why Ronnie was a bad Gov. (38 – 45 years ago) one constant reason was he was a bad father. This McCain/Crist/Graham Republican was always quoted in the articles describing ho his dad was an awful father.
    Mike had a different view (being a Gold water Republican like the guy who gave us “THE SPEECH’ 10/64) but the LAT ignored him.
    The 2 Ronnies always were very different and the younger hated his dad for at least 50 years;.
    One is R.W (old) other is R.P. (the collectivist McCain like child – now chronologically an adult)

    Please – do not call him Jr. They share first and last names and blood and are Californians but that is all. Everything (and that covers a whol lot of things) else is/was different

    I’d really like to comment on this but that would require watching Ron Reagan Jr and Joy Behar. I won’t take that one for the team, but thanks to all of you who did. Good to know his career peaked, because I didn’t think he actually had one, the insufferable prick.

    Junior Reagan insisted that because Geller had not known his father, she had no basis to say that President Reagan would like Palin, whereas the fact that he was the son of Ronald Sr meant that he could pronounce with authority on whom his father would or world not like. Although children and spouses may have special insight into their fathers and husbands as people, that does not imply that they know what they would do as professionals. Think about your own situations–does personal knowledge translate into understanding the professional world of people you know very well?

    Junior Reagan would be totally ignored by the Left if he had not rejected the political philosophy of his father. And he should be totally ignored by the right because he has rejected the political philosophy of his father.
