This F*cking Guy: Ronald Reagan

In our 43rd episode of This F*cking Guy, Erin and Alyssa dive deep into the past of the Jelly Bean Jack*ss, Ronald Reagan. From his B-list acting days, to "fighting" WWII from Culver City, to being an FBI rat, to his unforgivable  handling of the AIDS crisis, to mucking up foreign affairs for decades to come, this may be one of our most deluded guys yet.For a transcript of this episode, please email transcripts@crooked.com.Sources:Ronald Reagan: Informant (Salon)Peeping Ron (Book Forum) Ronald Reagan’s shameful legacy: Violence, the homeless, mental illness (Salon)Ronald Reagan’s wartime lies: The president had quite a Brian Williams problem (Salon)The Mendacity Index (Washington Monthly)On a wing and a prayer (Alec Nevala-Lee)Tear Down This Myth (Google Books) Reagan & Co.
