The most depressing thing about Reagan’s death is the "sympathy boost" that GW Jr. seems to be getting in the election polls. Not that I’m a BIG Reagan fan, but GW IS NO REAGAN! I don’t think Reagan vacationed 42% of his first 8 months in office…
I’m not the only one upset by the comparison of Bush II to Ronnie. Reagan’s son Ron Reagan Jr. is not exactly thrilled either. "My father crapped bigger ones than George Bush," Ron Jr. said in a recent interview. "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."
Granted, these comments lose a little of their impact when you realize they’re coming from a ballet dancer… but the point is still valid.
