We refuse to call this guy Ronald Reagan, Jr. His words and actions always fall so far short of the Great Man’s name that we just can’t bring ourselves to type the words. From now on he is Sonny Boy Reagan to us.
Sarah Palin is honoring one Reagan and offending another with the same speech.
The former Alaska governor is scheduled to speak in Santa Barbara, Calif., on Friday at a tribute to former President Ronald Reagan — just one of the celebrations marking the centennial of the 40th president’s birth on Feb. 6.
But his son, Ron Reagan, tells The Associated Press he doesn’t see anything in common between his dad and the 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate, who was invited to speak by the event’s sponsor, the conservative Young America’s Foundation.
“Sarah Palin is a soap opera, basically. She’s doing mostly what she does to make money and keep her name in the news,” Reagan says.
To repeat: “She’s doing mostly what she does to make money and keep her name in the news.”
Words uttered by a failed talk show host who’s currently out there flogging a book about his father in a desperate attempt to make money and keep his name in the news.
Hypocrisy, thy name is Sonny Boy.

Ronald Reagan's other prodigal child, Patti Davis (who is so proud to be her father's daughter that she uses her mother's maiden name) also has a float in the Palin-hating parade: http://www.newsrealblog.com/2011/02/07/reagan-vs-palin-patti-davis-says-the-sarahcuda-would-make-her-dad-spin-in-his-grave/
Seriously, would anyone care what either Patti or Ron, Jr. said if they weren't Ronald Reagan's kids?
Nope. The only thing that I can say here is that some where in the world a liberal has staunch conservative children. Equalizing the world.

The liberal you are looking for is Juan Williams. His kid is as conservative as they come
Ah well there you go. I didnt know that thanks! Is he single? :-D
He might be I dont know. You can always contact his dad and see. Conservative son and conservative daughter-n-law. Wow, Juan's hair would turn snow white for certain. :)
Juans hair is already turning white, but I think that comes from age. And don't pick on him too much, he is one smart man who might lean a little to the left of the political stage but is no sheeple in any way. He has done a little leaning to the right when it made sense too.
I just don't understand after all the crap liberals have put him through he remains a liberal. If he decided to be centrist or independent, but he still is drinking the Kool Aid.
LOL that actually would funny. Juan Williams is from Panama, he may want to have a Panamenian daughter in law after all ;-)
What a fairy.
I think Sarah Palin gets dragged into the news more than she gets herself there.
Well, he's kind of right about Sarah Palin. Which doesn't take away the "hypocrite" part of the article, but just sayin'.
I really hope Palin doesn't run in 2012. She's certainly not the best the Reps and Tea Party can do.
Spoiled brat is all that he is. If his last name were not Regan, he would be the night manager at a McDonalds some where.
He is jealous of Sarah Palin and that she has been able to accomplish on her own name. What a PUKE
Heyyyy I'm a night manager at a McDonalds>>.
Congradulations! It is not an easy job and a friend of mine, who now owns 4 Mickey D's, started at the bottom when he was in high school and can tell you all about it.
Well it wasn't my first choice. I learned that when you get laid off McDonalds is where you go....
Just call him Prescott that's his real name he's no junior.
Is that really him? I didn't want to ask and I know that perhaps not all ballet dancers are gay but is he gay? Don't get mad at me gay people but that will explain some things. It is hard to be the male son of a real man like Reagan under normal circumstances... Just sayin'
Not that there's anything wrong with that
His father was ashamed of him when alive and is more so looking down at him.
So Palin was speaking at events related to Reagan's 100th Birthday & Non Reagan Jr was where? I did'nt see him anywhere near the festivities, & that's how it should be.
BTW, here is something Michael Reagan told Beck on his radio show, it's also in an Ivestors Bussiness Daily piece from Feb 4,2011, it involved how he got fired by General Electric. He used to hosted General Electric Theater in the 1950's & into the 60's. In 62, then AttnyGeneral Bobby Kennedy had talked with GE bigwigs about Reagan's speeches where he criticsized the JFK administration. RFK went to GE demanding Reagan be sacked, & 2 days later, GE canceled General Electric Theater. So Jim Quinn(from radio's"The Warroom" w/Quinn & Rose) says his first law is that "Liberalism ALWAYS generates the exact opposite of it's stated intent". The intent here was to shut Reagan up, instead, it just gave him time to really organize himself for his life in politics. Very funny when you think about it.
Yeah it sounds like sour grapes, but it is his fault all he had to do is buck up instead of acting stanky and he could have been there to honor is dad and get some attention that he so craves. He is pathetic.
I found that story hilarious how awesome.
Sonny Boy Reagan and Ponder Care Soon Cooper would make a nice couple :)
