This blog used to be about politics. Not so much anymore as I have worked through my fascination with that subject. It now seems appropriate that with a new president and the end of the Bush nightmare that I move on to new subjects that are more in line with my current interests. I may still occasionally express an opinion about political matters but for the most part I will be commenting on music, photography and personal observations. Thank you for reading.

I Didn't say "Reagan Sez"!


CNN.com - RNC asks to review 'The Reagans' - Oct. 31, 2003:
"Republicans have expressed concern that the miniseries, titled 'The Reagans,' may inaccurately portray the couple.

In a conference call with reporters, RNC Chairman Ed Gillespie said he sent the request to CBS Television President Leslie Moonves.

Gillespie said that if CBS denies the request, he will ask the network to run a note across the bottom of the screen every 10 minutes during the program's presentation informing viewers that the miniseries is not accurate. "


That the miniseries inaccurately portrays the should be summed up by the phrase "Made for TV". The screenwriter herself has admitted putting words in Reagans mouth. But this action by the RNC is appalling.

The Republican National Committee Friday asked CBS to allow a team of historians and friends of former President Ronald Reagan and his wife to review a miniseries about the couple before it airs.


My view of the RNC tends to oscillate between "bunch of whiny babies" to "viscious pack of rich lying bastards". This fits with my "whiny babies" view of things.

Gillespie said that if CBS rejects both requests, the RNC would to sell tapes and DVDs on its Web site that would present "the real Reagan record."


Ok, that's better. A little more like how grown ups would act. Of course, the RNC produced portrayal of Reagan will be just as accurate as the CBS miniseries, which is to say, not at all.
