Didn't his long battle with alzheimers start around the time he got elected?

At least he's in a place now where the Pupeteer(nancy) can't touch him

cheers

A dispicable bastard whom I won't shed any tears for, the right wing republican fucker.
Anyone of a new generation think the Bush/Blair circus is one to make you puke, you should have seen it with Thatcher and Reagan in the 80's....far, far worse

I also liked the Not The Nine O'Clock News spoof where "Reagan" is making a speech by just repeating whatever the guy behind him whispers in his ear. It starts of normal but becomes more grotesquely silly as it goes on.

BTW, I still have a poster from the early 80s... "Gone With The Wind" featuring Reagan carrying Thatcher... strapline of She wanted to go to the end of the earth, He promised to take her there and a nuclear mushroom cloud in the background.

Actually I find the Bush/Blair circus far more worrying. You'd think after Reagan/Thatcher we would have learnt, but no, here we go again!!!

Now, where's my tin hat?

Minor league thesp. perhaps best known for 'Knute Rockne, All American' (1940) where his role of "George 'The Gipper' Gipp" gave him the nickname of "The Gipper" for the rest of his life.

Also fondly remembered for 'Bedtime for Bonzo' a '51 comedy in which he played a professor attempting to teach morals to a chimpanzee. Later entered politics.

Epitath: That's all, folks...
