This Ron Reagan guy has a lot to learn about hosting Hardball...

[senseandsensibility]

He actually lets people finish their answers without interrupting. Then he pauses for a beat or two as if he's thinking about their words before he asks the next question. When he's hosting, you can hear all the questions and all the guests' answers.

Weird...maybe he'll learn the basics someday.

[monmouth]

1. Hahahaha, I thought that the other day and wondered if Tweety was

watching and maybe getting a clue. Love the Ron.

[senseandsensibility]

5. Unfortunately, I doubt if Tweety is learning anything, but

I have noticed that he respects Ron, and lets him finish his answes when he's a guest.

[monmouth]

8. That's because he's the "Gipper's" son. The love for that one never stops...

Some day Malia and Sasha will be professional women and the daughters of a past president. I wonder if they will be treated the same. Just a question that popped into the head.

[senseandsensibility]

29. I kind of had that thought before.

Tweety only hero worships past Republican presidents, it seems. Well, he is also in awe of Caroline Kennedy. Let's face it...he's just star struck.

6. Okay, that guy makes tweety look good.

Egads.

[valerief]

3. Right, and he never talks about his leg. nt

[A Brand New World]

4. I wish so much he'd get his own show. Even my non-political

hubby enjoys listening to him. All of the others, not at all.

[Peregrine Took]

7. Very classy dude. I wish he would have gotten Sharpton's show. n/t

[kentuck]

9. He's not really that partisan...

He simply talks common sense and sometimes the other side does not look very well.... He is fair to both sides.

[senseandsensibility]

21. He's certainly fair, and maybe not

overtly partisan, but I can still tell where he's coming from. I appreciate his reasonable tone, though, and his voice isn't shril. I think that helps him seem less partisan.

31. This is the world where my parents lived - where people of both parties could be

On TV, discussing issues in a reasonable tone of voice, and no one expressing having views that are total Far RW whack-job crazy.

My parents voted for Nixon, and every single family they knew socially and were friends with voted for the Kennedy. They had debates and discussions a-plenty.

And no one got mad at one another.

Some twenty years later, Playboy had snippets of Nixon's speeches next to Kennedy's, and it was not possible to tell which man had said what till you looked up the answers in the back of the magazine.

10. Ron is also a far better dancer than Chris....

[senseandsensibility]

12. Ballet ,right?

I don't think I'd like to see tweety in tights anyway.

[stevedeshazer]

11. +1, Ron is great. n/t

[fascisthunter]

13. lol

no kidding

[blogslut]

14. Chris Bell!

I'm gonna go cry my eyes out now.

[Sky Masterson]

15. I have nothing to add to this OP

:applause:

[senseandsensibility]

16. Oh, go ahead.

There's plenty left to say.:)

[TNLib]

17. I just wish Senior had been more like Junior

The world would have been a better place.

[senseandsensibility]

20. I agree.

Hard not to think of that sometimes, or how the world would be different if Gore had been allowed to take office.

[lindysalsagal]

18. I know! He actually thinks the show's about the policies, and the other guests!

Geez!

[grntuscarora]

19. I'm a fan!

I like Ron Reagan. Smart, likeable and, yes, he lets people finish their sentences (very classy)!

[Ilsa]

22. I'm sold on him as a host. But I fear TPTB won't

let him have a show because his behavior isn't controversial enough.

I'd watch him if he had his own program, though.

[undeterred]

23. He should run for the Republican nomination.

[zalinda]

27. That would be so delicious! n/t

[NYC Liberal]

32. Running on the Democratic ticket would be even more so!

Imagine the Republicans having to run against...Reagan.

[Ruby the Liberal]

24. It is truly refreshing. Tweety's most annoying habit

isn't only cutting off his guests, but when he cuts them off to change the question.

[graywarrior]

25. And no spitting!

[Raine]

26. I LOVE him, he's TERRIFIC! nt

:applause: :patriot:

[SoapBox]

28. I've enjoyed the change...

Tweety gets on my nerves.

[truedelphi]

30. In a just and fair world, 2012 would see

Ron Reagan, standard bearer for the Republicans, facing off RFK Jr, standard bearer for the Democrats.

However, since both of these people witnessed their dads being shot on TV ad nauseum, it will not come to pass. And believe me, they got the message.

So as far as the Uber Elite goes, "Mission Accomplished."
