The Reagans don't like Bush either...
First, there's this editorial cartoon, a quite accurate reflection of reality. I think that Nancy Reagan is going to become the Republicans' worst nightmare in the coming months, as she channels her grief into a screed against their "faith-based science" (an oxymoron if ever there were one.
Then, there's Ron Reagan, Jr's open hostility to the current administration. In his eulogy to his father, a decried politicians who use religion "to gain political advantage..." Prior to this, Reagan fils said of W, during the 2000 Republican Convention, "What's
his accomplishment...? That he's no longer an obnoxious drunk?" Last year, he said of the administration, "...these people are overly reaching, overly aggressive, overly secretive and just plain corrupt. I don't trust these people."
You can read the whole article in the NY Times online, even though I think their "register to read" policy is ridiculous. I mean, nothing says you can't give them completely bogus information (wink wink), although that would be wrong. Very wrong...
Either way, the Bushes are in trouble with the Reagans. As Kenneth M. Duberstein, Reagan's former chief of staff, says of Nancy in the Times article, "Nancy Reagan is not somebody who walks away from anything. When she takes on a cause and a belief, she is very much like her husband. I think (stem-cell research) is very dear to her heart."
Bushes beware. Now, the Dragon Lady is going to go all medieval on your asses. And believe me, she can. And will.
