The Son of a U.S. President vs. the Son of a U.S. President

Ronald Reagan had not even been put into his grave -- so he couldn't have been spinning in it yet -- when his son lambasted the current administration.

And you know what? I don't think President Reagan would have objected to his son, Ron Reagan, using his moment in the sun (and his father's twilight) to tell the world what the Reagans really think about George W. Bush.

Ron Reagan, the son of a U.S. President, calling another son of a U.S. President a blowhard Philistine -- oh, how rich!

"Dad was ... a deeply, unabashedly religious man. But he never made the fatal mistake of so many politicians wearing his faith on his sleeve to gain political advantage," said Ron Reagan of his father in a remembrance just before the burial.

It's a great read -- if only to hear him point out the differences between a true conservative who has thought out his policy versus one who can't even speak in front of a committee without holding Dick Cheney's hand.
