Regan Vs. Reagan

This week has been a bad week to be a Reagan. It all started when Ron Reagan Jr. went on 20/20 and said that  his father, former President Ronald Reagan, showed signs of Alzheimer's while he was still in office. Well that statement obviously didn't sit well with his half-brother conservative talk-radio host Michael Reagan who called his brother "an embarrassment to the family". Now i'm definitely not trying to pick sides in this one because i disagree politically with both of them, but I think Michael Reagan took this one WAY too far. Calling your brother an embarrassment to the family is one of the worst things that you can say. And doing it in the public arena is reprehensible. Coming from a family where I don't agree with either of my parents or siblings about anything politically i know that it doesn't help any to argue and say hurtful things. There is probably lots of bad blood in the family between these two that none of us know about and that's really the sad part because i know that that's not what Ronald Reagan would have wanted. I would hope that Michael can call his brother and apologize but I know that that will probably never happen.
