Alphecca: Good For Kerry

Good For Kerry

He's shown a lot of class by cancelling two fund-raising concerts this week and taking the week off from campaigning. And this was a nice comment he improvised at a commencement speach:

"Because of the way he led, he taught us that there was a difference between strong beliefs and bitter partisanship," Mr. Kerry told the 372 Bedford graduates and their friends and relatives. "He was our oldest president, ladies and gentlemen, but he made America young again."

Good for John Kerry. And I must say, listening to all of the reminiscences from friends and foes of Reagan, all of them agree -- even if you didn't like his policies, it was impossible not to like the man (Reagan) himself.

By the way, on the Today Show this morning, excerpts (from People Magazine) by daughter Patti Davis about the final moments of Ronald Reagan's life were read and they are quite moving. I will probably buy this particular issue but I will not subscribe and unfortunately, you cannot access any content on their site without being a subscriber. It would have been nice if they had at least shared the daughter's beautiful series of writings on the web but it's not to be. So sorry, no link to give you... (And Today @ MSNBC offers no quotes or links either.)

I thought that was good of Kerry, too.

Limbaugh noted today that Peter Jennings described the scene at the Reagan library as "Simi vally, home of the Rodney King beating."
Thanks Pete.

Your comments are welcome. You don't need to enter a URL and you don't need a "valid" email address, either. Note though that MT Blacklist is installed to flag suspiciously spam-like strings. Unfortunately, because of the bastard spammers, the strings "google.com" and "yahoo.com" (even in your email address) are currently banned as well. So are strings such as "cialis" (a common spam) which rules out words such as "socialism". Try putting a hyphan in a word like that.
