WALLACE: I was covering Ronald Reagan at that time. He was in Santa Barbara at his ranch when that happened, and quite frankly he didn't want to leave. And his advisers realized how terrible this looked, and eventually persuaded him he had to fly back to Washington and had to give this speech to the nation, but it did take him four days.Uh...Yeah..well, he ain't no fucking Reagan!
Addendum: Here's another one of those Fox News punks who apparently didn't get the memo. Teabaggers, you don't want to use Reagan as your role model on responding to planes being shot down by Russians. He was pathetic.
