"Special Reports" on Ronald Reagan's Death

ABC is promising live updates and special reports throughout the day each day this week leading up to Ronald Reagan's funeral (finally!) on Friday.

It's nice to know that if Ronny comes back to life or somehow gives us one last one-liner, ABC will be there to capture it for us.

This is almost as monumentally stupid as Tom Brokaw practically wiping a tear from his eye as he told us the great symbolism of Reagan's passing on the anniversary of D-Day. Tommy? Ronald Reagan did NOT serve in WWII. Maybe, just maybe, he was near the movie set of a WWII film once. But that's about it.

So let's not dishonor the memory of those who served and died by acting like Ronny chose D-Day to go home to his maker out of some great brotherhood with the veterans. S'ok?
