Speaking of Reagan, be sure to keep an eye out for this week’s “Questions for…” column in the New York Times Sunday Magazine. It’s going to feature an interview with Ron Reagan Jr. in which he, again, expresses his displeasure with the current occupants of the White House.
Fresh off his less-than-subtle criticisms of Bush at his father’s funeral, Ron takes aim at Cheney.
Q: “How did your mother feel about being ushered to her seat by President Bush?”
RR: “Well, he did a better job than Dick Cheney did when he came to the rotunda. I felt so bad. Cheney brought my mother up to the casket, so she could pay her respects. She is in her 80’s, and she has glaucoma and has trouble seeing. There were steps, and he left her there. He just stood there, letting her flounder. I don’t think he’s a mindful human being. That’s probably the nicest way I can put it.”
Moreover, he told Larry King last night, “We lied our way into the war [in Iraq].”
This guy really doesn’t hold back. Maybe we should get him to speak at the DNC this year.
