Does your vorlon really need to read any more poop on Nancy Reagan ??
LOL, well, sure, why not. I wasn't under any illusion Patti was going to rehabilitate Nancy's image, and I wasn't disappointed. Nancy was certainly a desperately unhappy bitch, and she wasn't shy about sharing the misery. Ron comes off as even more detached and uninvolved as a father. And poor Micheal, sheesh, hard to imagine just how much shit he had to put up with from Nancy and Ron.
Funny revelation:
Patti informs she isn't liberal because she ignored her father's politics, she is liberal because she paid attention.
Patti also notes wanting to remind her father during several of his speeches when he is rallying conservative audiences to protect their children and grandchildren that he has 2/4 children of his own (Ron, Patti, Micheal and Maureen) and they'd appreciate more (some or any actually) fatherly involvement in their lives.
Patti notes during her dad's campaign for CA governor that Maureen, despite holding similar conservative views, was considered an enormous liability to the campaign as reminding conservative family values republicans that he was divorced and remarried was not good politics.
On weekends when Michael Reagan was visiting, he slept on the couch and lived out of his duffel bag, he experienced the full cold shoulder/ice queen treatment from Nancy, and Michael's dad, Ronald never stepped in to make him feel at home there.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
