Okay, this is an oldie, but I didn't see it until I stumbled on it tonight. Finally, someone in the media (besides comedians) who says what desperately needs to be said: Reagan was an awful president!

[Dramarama]

1. How classy

[Bluzmann57]

2. It's true

He is dead and he was a lousy president.

[noiretextatique]

4. he was a lousy president twice

just like the pretzeldent.

[Cha]

3. Yeah, I'll

kick that.

[Kahuna]

5. Oh no he did'int!

:rofl:

[npk]

6. That one is going to sting, just a little. n/t

[Berry Cool]

7. I remember that night!

If I wasn't already in love with Keith, I would have fallen in love that night on the basis of that statement alone.

He actually brought it up last night--that he waited for years until after Reagan was dead to say that, out of trying to show some respect for the dead--but after that, he said it.

[DutchLiberal]

8. Yeah, that's how I stumbled onto this clip.

I heard him bring it up, so I immediately went looking for it.

Unfortunately, the guy who put up the clip, and most people who commented don't agree with Keith (to put it mildly).

[ScottLand]

9. They don't agree that he's dead?

Or that he was a lousy president? How could he not have been lousy? - he was completely incoherent for most of his presidency.

[DutchLiberal]

13. Well, after all, "he made Americans proud of their country again"...

And as we all know, that's what's most important when you're president...

[ScottLand]

10. I think it's funny how the right-wingers deify Reagan.

I feel about that the same as I'd feel if they ran around saying Pee-Wee Herman was a great comedian. That would be a kick actually - they could refer to similar things as "Hermanesque".

[WhoIsNumberNone]

11. Finally somebody said it!

On TV I mean. I've been saying it for years.

[lbrtbell]

12. One of my all-time favorite Olbermann lines

In less than 60 seconds: Compassion, outrage, and blunt honesty. Absolutely classic!

[KansDem]

14. Was that terrorist-threat lockdown ever explained?

I assume it was to rig the results of the election, but has anyone tried to get an explanation about why the building was locked down on election night, either from the county or from Homeland Security?
