Reagan Blasts Bush!

[wicket]

This is from last year, but it still is awesome :D

http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2003/04/14/ron_reagan/

"My father crapped bigger ones than George Bush," says the former president's son, in a flame-throwing conversation about the war and the Bush administration's efforts to lay claim to the Reagan legacy.

-snip-

Reagan took a swipe at Bush during the 2000 GOP convention in Philadelphia, which featured a tribute to his father, telling the Washington Post's Lloyd Grove, "The big elephant sitting in the corner is that George W. Bush is simply unqualified for the job... What's his accomplishment? That he's no longer an obnoxious drunk?"

-snip-

"Nine-11 gave the Bush people carte blanche to carry out their extreme agenda -- and they didn't hesitate for a moment to use it. I mean, by 9/12 Rumsfeld was saying, 'Let's hit Iraq.' They've used the war on terror to justify everything from tax cuts to Alaska oil drilling."

Think he's available to speak at the DNC next month? :evilgrin:

2. I think Ron Jr has a great future in the DEM party

[NYCGirl]

3. He's a progressive!

Excerpt:

Reagan, who says the label "progressive" would fit him, does not belong to a political party. "I'm certainly not a Republican; I couldn't belong to any party that had leaders like Tom DeLay. And the Democrats are too busy trying to out-Republican the Republicans."

7. some dem should interview him soon......BEGALA??????

ask him to reaffirm this quote from the article

"The Bush people have no right to speak for my father, particularly because of the position he's in now," he said during a recent interview with Salon. "Yes, some of the current policies are an extension of the '80s. But the overall thrust of this administration is not my father's -- these people are overly reaching, overly aggressive, overly secretive, and just plain corrupt. I don't trust these people."

partly because of the position he's in right now.....heh (bad taste? too frickin BAD)

10. another interesting snip.....come on, Ron, what did she SAY?

"Reagan says he doesn't have anything personal against Bush. He met him only once, at a White House event during the Reagan presidency.

'At least my wife insists we did -- he left absolutely no impression on me. But Doria remembers him very negatively -- I can't repeat what she said about him, I'd rather not use profanity. I do remember Jeb -- a big fella, seemed to be the brightest of the bunch. And of course their parents were very charming.'"
