#1 Mods - I chose Page 2, but (like my previous one) it's not posting there. Please move accordingly.

#2 What can anyone say about a second-rate has-been with no future and a past littered with invective and failure/blame pieces? Does anyone actually read this diseased drunk with a hole where his brain should be? Whatever he's paid, it must be considered charity. Such an inconsequential wannabe surviving on a diet of bitter envy of substance and relevance should be in a home for the utterly deranged. Newsday, huh? Well, perhaps he already is.

#3 So what is Breslin's excuse? Did his mom lock him in a closet when he was 5, and forget about him?

If you live in Brooklyn, the record shows that Ronald Reagan hated children."

I guess Breslin's editor removed the reference to the President hating puppies, kittens, and little bunny rabbits, because that would have been over the top. . .

Note : In the funeral we heard about Reagan feeding the squirrels on the white house lawn peanuts. Breslin doesn't want to reference that either. Goes against his psychotic thoerem.

#5 C'mon Jimmy, admit it. You think Ronald Reagan hated puppies and kittens, don't you?

#6 I knew a guy who used to be a reporter for the NYT. He said Breslin told him one time not to let the facts get in the way of a good story.

#7 Once upon a time, Breslin did a story about me and my family. I was just about to graduate from college at a very early age. As we found out the next day, he had contempt for us all, and we returned the sentiment. But he had the newspaper, and there were no blogs in 1977.

And, distasteful? Has anyone seen a more dignified observance in recent memory?
