Look, everyone knows Reagan was no actor. Just watch one of his movies, and you’ll be convinced, too.

Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Your as dead as a doornail
And our economy is too.

My colon applauds the Gipper!

Finished it for you
All thanks to youuuuuuuuuuuuuu
(Good evening friends)

I wish he were still with us, there’s barely enough people to hate these days.

Jeezus, Hemingway can’t even seem to remember Schwarzenegger.

And this just in: Ronald Reagan and Generalissimo Francisco Franco are both still dead.

God bless ‘em for that.

Or the last next great one, Freddy “Red Truck” Thompson.

That’s too bad. If Il Duce was still around, perhaps outreach Obama would appoint him to run Amtrak — provided he’d paid his taxes, of course.

Ronald Fucking Reagan. If ever there was a politician less deserving of praise, it’s him, and these venal bastards have made him into a saint; in the process they’ve beaten our political and economic system to a possibly not-fixable pulp. But they love ‘Murika sooooooo much more than us pinko lefties dontchaknow.

In the name of historical accuracy, I guess the cake is filled w/swiss cheese…

Ah, the worshipping at the altar of St. Ronnie. Hear them chanting, “Tear down this wall”!

Oh wait, we’re the ones building the wall. Guess there are good walls and bad walls.

Can’t believe I’m defending him at all, but Thompson was a politician before doing the acting gig.

Some idiot in a broadcast company is supposed to have thought he was a “presence” during the hearings by the Senate Select H2Ogate committee, where he was the lead counsel for the Minority.

Today is the birthday of a great entertainer, but it sure as hell wasn’t Reagan. Bob Marley would have been 64 today. Get Up! Stand UP!

Wasn’t there a right-wing actor who was in the Senate before Reagan entered politics??

George Murphy, that dancin’ fool.

Murphy was elected before Reagan was, but I wouldn’t say it was before Reagan entered politics. Reagan’s splashy political debut was a nationally broadcast speech for Barry Goldwater in 1964. It was in the ‘64 election that Murphy was elected Senator, defeating the very short-term incumbent, Pierre Salinger, whom Pat Brown had appointed to the seat of Senator Clair Engle, who died that summer. Murphy got to keep the seat for one term, losing it in 1970 to John Tunney (who lost it in turn to Sleepin’ Sam Hayakawa.)

I remember Reagan.

Ah, I knew it was a George but I kept think George M. Cohan, but I knew that wasn’t right…

I’ll see your Ronald Reagan and raise you Jesse Ventura.

Reagan killed us.

Where is Doug Rader when you really need him?

We’d have been better off if it had been George M. Cohan, or at least Jimmy Cagney. Cagney was a classic New Deal liberal, one of the founders of SAG, and a supporter of the Spanish Republic.

Whenever I feel that way, I find that if I hiss”Kissinger” three times there’s plenty.
