Overstatement of the Day
**Written by Doug Powers
The UK Daily Mail is obviously assuming that Ron Reagan Jr. has a lot more political clout in the States than he actually does:
The son of the former US president Ronald Reagan has branded Sarah Palin a ‘soap opera’ ahead of a speech she will give honouring his late father.
Ron Reagan said that he doesn’t see anything in common between his dad and the 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate.
Palin is scheduled to speak in Santa Barbara, California, on Friday at a tribute to Ronald Reagan. The event is one of the celebrations marking the 40th US president’s 100th birthday on Feb. 6.
But the stinging criticism from the son of one of the US’s most memorable presidents will come as a devastating blow to Palin, the former Alaska governor, as she rallies support for a possible presidential candidacy bid in 2012.
A devastating blow? Now Palin might not get the vote of the half dozen libs who heed the words of Ron Reagan Jr.
Speaking of Sarah Palin’s speech at the Reagan Ranch Center tonight, C-Span will air it live at 11 p.m. EST. And to top it off and ensure that Ron Jr’s head does a pirouette à la seconde clean off his shoulders, Dick Cheney will speak tomorrow night at 10:30 EST. Meanwhile, Ron Reagan Jr’s speech to a busboy at a Seattle area Denny’s isn’t expected to be covered by any media outlets.

Ironically, Sarah Palin has more in common with President Reagan than his own son.
Ron Jr. who? Once again, Sarah Palin is such an incompetent and stupid even the Eurotrash Left has to help attack her. I can smell the fear.
The Brits apparently don’t realize that every speech by an American political figure is not a campaign speech. I suspect Gov. Palin’s speech will be appropriately all about the Gipper.
Devastating blow? Well, Sarah can fill stadiums when she gives speechs, while Ron Jr. would be a nobody if not for his last name.
Ron Jr. Now there is a candidate for Gerbal Racing if there ever was one.
Ron Reagan Jr? Um…isn’t he the guy who went on SNL in his underwear (briefs), played the guitar and did some silly dance? That Ron Reagan??? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
He is a joke. That is all. A joke.
Everytime a little girl cries, a ballerina falls to the ground…
Those pirouettes are killers but you now ex-ballerinas.
I think Ron Jr. did an excellent job on the Animal Planet dog show. He skillfully played the part of the clueless newbie who didn’t know a dachshund from a great dane.
This is hilarious. Thanks for the guffaw, Ronnie!
Ron, get a T-count next time you go in for a physical.
A Barbie doll has more testosterone.
Now is she would just change her stance on illegal immigration and take one…no amnesty!
We have immigration laws on the books now enforce them…and most of the immigration problems will diminish.
If I were to go trolling for gays, I would throw Ron on a #3 treble hook, and dance him off the transom.
Ron Jr.’s criticism will be about as devastating as a nerf ball bouncing off an Abrams Tank.
Does this mean that dissembling, effete, left-wing hacks won’t be supporting Sarah Palin in 2012? I did NOT see that coming…
How are the books sales going, Ronny, Jr.? Got any more lies to tell about your father to line your pocket? Despicable!!!
John Deaux said that he doesn’t see anything in common between President Ronald Reagan and Ron Reagan Jr.
Splash that all over DKos!
Yeah, right Ronny. Throw your spitballs. Mama Grizzly will never even notice. Neither will anyone else that matters.
Dammit Hang. How am I going to get the Coke out of the damm keyboard? Son of a ….
I wonder if Nancy had any imput on Sarah speaking? If so, dear ron should keep his mouth shut! I loved President Reagan and I love Sarah!
L
Ron Jr. has more in common with Rahm Emanuel than he does with his dad!
Not a very nice thing to say about Doug, now is it?
Well the UK are very fond of their Queens, so they must think we are too.
You’ve seen them in the shower?
Naw. He’s like almost as important as Meghan McClueless, n’stuff. Another rich spoiled brat who’s sole life accomplishment is being someone’s mouthy kid. — Let’s check his resume:
Education:
* Expelled from The Webb Schools of California, a private prep school.
* Dropped out of Yale University after one semester to become a ballet dancer.
Career:
* Dancer – Most notable performance? On SNL doing the Tom Cruise underwear dance.
* The Ron Reagan Show (’91) Syndicated late-night – Cancelled after 3 weeks.
* Co-hosted “Connected: Coast to Coast” on MSNBC. Cancelled.
* The Ron Reagan Show: Air America 2009 – 2010. Garnered a whopping 0.5% market share at the flagship station WWRL. Unmeasurable market share nationwide.
Now here’s a guy who’s opinion is really…who were we talking about?
Re the UK Daily Mail, it appears the UK has an MSM with an attention span just like our MSM. Methinks it’s just diversionary tactics to draw attention away from their own Country’s problems.
Re Ron Jr. requires an R. Lee Ermey quote:
I firmly believe that you live and learn, and if you don’t learn from past mistakes, then you need to be drug out and shot.
R. Lee Ermey
This consummate loser is trying to be a male Paris Hilton. He needs to keep getting his 15 minutes of fame. Since the spokes person for global warming was taken and McCain’s daughter has the bash conservative women covered, he decided to be the trash Reagan spokes person. He was a lousy dancer too.
I’m thinking Jr should go on a speaking tour with that McCain kid, whatshername. Between the two of them they could probably draw a crowd as big as say, the usher staff at a Palin speech.
I have an idea Ron, stay in England where you’re appreciated.
Not a very nice thing to say about Doug, now is it?
Picture a well-basted bird. Pth~~~~~~~~~
Is this the same guy who endorsed Barak Hussein Obama for President in 2008?
Does he and Rahm have something going – not that there is anything wrong with it.
Who is this ‘Ronald Reagan Jr’ and why should I give a damn about his opinion?
I’m sure she’ll somehow muddle through, you know? Stiff upper lip and all? Right-o. Ta.
Meanwhile, Ron Reagan Jr’s speech to a
busboyrent-boy at aSeattle area Denny’sGreenwich Village bathouse isn’t expected to be covered by any media outlets.FIFY Doug!
Ron Jr apparently has a problem with anyone actually admiring his father. What a JERK!

HA HHAAAA! Nice one HangFire! Good thing it’s almost Happy Hour!
Ron who? Who cares …
Ron Jr. looks like any waiter at Cheesecake Factory.
nancy had two children w/ RR- neither turned out too well-wonder why…
Michael Ramirez has the best idea of what comprises Ron Jr.
Ron should be stripped of the privilege to the Reagan name. Michael is clearly the only Reagan son to honor rather than bring disgrace to his father’s name.
Ron Jr. has not reproduced as far as i know. It’s a good thing.

This was my first thought, but sadly Ronnie Jr is probably proud of the fact that he’s nothing like his father.
Indeed. If he had at any time changed his name in order to further distance himself from his father (since Ron Jr. is the total antithesis of Ronald Reagan), he would literally be nothing. No one would listen or care about this minuscule worm.
Well, it helps to practice on a girl……..
Apart from SNL, and displaying his package for all to see, how is this guy relevant?
He just threw his Dad under the bus by making crap up with his book.
Hope it sells less that botox Nan’s book.
Fraud.
***
President Reagan’s adopted son Michael mirrors his Dad’s conservative way of thinking.
***
Ron Reagan is so far from his Dad’s way of thinking and acting that he wouldn’t even appear in a mirror’s reflection if he were standing in front of one with the Gipper at his side.
***
And I think that President Reagan would be very pleased with Governor Sarah Palin. Maybe Ron will leave America for his beloved France or England when the Sarah’Cuda cleans all Dem / RINO clocks, destroys Comrade Obama in the Nov. 2012 election, and becomes the best President in recent memory.

It will be interesting to see if Patti Davis will attend to honor her father.

Hilarious!
They must be thinking of Michael Reagan: now THERE’S a Reagan with a lotta’ clout….and if I’m not totally off my rocker, I b’lieve Ronnee Jr.’s Biog Brother is a Sarah Palin supporter, if not at least a fan….
Uh, the apple fell off the tree and rolled down, way down, to the gutter level! Sad! Now it’s contemplating its wormy existence. . .
Poor Nancy!
Hmmm…
Seems to me this Palinfobia of the left is similar to the Hillarysteria of the right in 2008. Too many in the right focused on defeating a liberal Hillary, and ended up with something much worse.
Contemplation — if the left prematurely knocks out Palin, who’s the Tea Party dark horse going to be? If they’re anywhere as wildly successful in undoing Obamamunism as Obama has been in creating it, have at it Palinphobias….
Actually, little Ron shares more in common with Sarah Palin…they both have similar genetalia. Maybe he can get a gig in Egypt, taking head shots for AC360. No…I did not say giving…
There once was a time when boys grew up in the image of their fathers.
If the punk ever gros up perhaps he will-hell he is only 52
And who cares what the Brits think?
It’s sad to think that the Reagan line might become extinct. Little Ron should be less focused on Sarah and more on having some kids. I think he is the last hope in carrying on the Reagan line.
Stinging criticism? devastating blow?
That “reporter” is truly delusional or just re-wrote what Ron Jr. sent to them.
That little panty-waste has been smearing conservatives and his own Father for years, and people here know enough to ignore him.
heh. Good one!
Listened last night to her speech at 100th birthday celebration at Reagan ranch. As America slides further into The One’s famous ditch every body that wants Obama for four more years rather than Sarah raise their hand. All who want a rerun of the Great Carter years say “WTF”. (Win The Future)
Nice catch. Beautimus.
It takes a huge effort for liberals to grow up mentally and emotionally and many fight it tooth and nail.
Exactly…a western nation sadly morphing into a new Islamic caliphate should be ignored, actually.
So was Ron Jr. dropped on his head when he was a kid, or did he do some serious drugs while he was in college?
Yes.
Yes Flyover, the Brits are very enamored with their queens, in more ways than one. BTW, would the last heterosexual male leaving England please shut off the lights so the rest of the world won’t have to see the remainder of British society buggering each other.
I didn’t even know who he was until two weeks ago.
Ron Jr. He’s like Maggie McCain, related to someone who accomplished something with his life. They think they are worthy of attention.
Accomplishment is not inheritable. I didn’t think it was possible, but his stinging criticism makes him look smaller.
funny – I don’t remember Reagan Jr. having ANY political clout
OK fine. Palin is a bit of a soap opera. I sure don’t see her doing much good.
Still, Ron Reagan, Jr.?
Isn’t that a pretty serious case of “Pot, meet Kettle”?
