24. Do Not Joke About Alzheimer's Disease

Fri Apr 29, 2016, 06:44 PM

If you are talking about the fact that Patti Davis and Michael Reagan came out against Will Ferrell's comedy that was going to focus on Ronald Reagan's Alzheimer's Disease I disagree with you. It was wrong for Will Ferrell and anyone in Hollywood who was associated with that movie to consider putting out that movie.

It would have been wrong to make a movie that could be seen as making fun of Alzheimer's Disease. That is a horrible disease with which many families, Democrats and Republicans, are struggling. Reagan's family is right, there is nothing funny about Alzheimer's Disease.
