Wah, Wah, Wah
I don’t normally like to resort to name calling, but Ron Reagan is a crybaby weenie. He is whining about how Rudy was so mean to Kerry, and how at the Democrat convention there was a “no Bush bashing” rule, and they stuck to it. He thinks it isn’t fair that Kerry was criticized by name. When Ron Silver embarrassed him by immediately quoting the “misled into war” and other attacks from the Democrat convention, Reagan’s defense was that they didn’t call Bush by name. Hey, Ron, the reason they had a ban on Bush bashing is because they had done nothing but that for 18 months and it was starting to backfire. Remember the AWOL deserter charges by the head of the DNC and the candidate himself? Remember the “Coalition of the Wild-eyed” ad?
I could go on to list some more of the childish things Reagan went on to say, but why bother? He is doing the same thing he did at the Democrat convention – attacking Republicans at every opportunity with such thinly veiled anger and hatred that it is uncomfortable to watch. Joe Scarborough had to step in a couple of times just to keep the guy from embarrassing himself too badly. MSNBC should at least identify Reagan as a Democrat spokesman, rather than a journalist. What a joke.
UPDATE: Okay, I am a glutton for punishment. I am still watching Ron Reagan because I cannot believe his weird behavior. He is on a mission to convince everyone he talks to tonight that Bush decided to abort all efforts to capture Bin Laden so that he could go into Iraq. He is actually giving a lecture disguised as a question to a woman in the crowd that he is supposed to be interviewing, about how Bush 41 failed by not going into Iraq after Kuwait was liberated. Joe Scarborough had to rescue the poor woman who was beginning to look a little threatened. In the same night, he has also suggested that we are responsible for Saddam’s actions because we supported him against Iran. He continually makes catty little remarks that are so nakedly partisan and childish that I find it hard to believe that MSNBC allows him to continue, but there he is – still on the air.
