Former President Ronald Reagan died today. May he rest in peace. To endure Alzheimers' for a decade is a cruel fate. Here's an open thread to discuss his life, his Presidency and his legacy

Update: The Washington Post has a long obit up by his biographer. Here's a quote from John Kerry:

Mass. Sen. John Kerry: "Ronald Reagan's love of country was infectious. Even when he was breaking Democrats' hearts, he did so with a smile and in the spirit of honest and open debate."

Kerry's official statement is here.

Updates: Larry King Live looks to be the most promising of the tv coverage tonight. He has Mike Wallace and Walter Cronkite, among others.

Update: Bill and Hillary Clinton's Response is on Hillary's website here.

The Department of Louise reminds us:

The best response, whether or not you were a supporter of his politics, is to go here and donate to The Alzheimer's Association. Even a few dollars will be helpful.
