1. Why would an ex-President watch movies in the White House?
Don't they make them leave when their term is over?

3. Ronald Reagan's stench is still in there. Does that count as him being around? nt

4. Reagan: the same movie every night, maybe Bedtime for Bonzo or the Gipper movie.
Every night he forgot he had already seen it.

8. Well, Clinton had a theatre put in
but I'd bet that the quality of the films he watched was worthy of his intellect. And I don't hold that against him at all.

I'm guessing that Ronnie watched Westerns through most of the eighties whenever he wasn't sleeping. Or taking the country in a new direction, right.

6. Ronnie and Mommy would get into their jammies
at 6:00 every night, and have their dinner on trays, watching TV or movies.
