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.
