Transcript:
Huey: What is the proper way to honor dead men who have left an indelible mark on the world? Should we ignore their flaws, erase their wrongdoings, and speak only of their finer moments, as the media have done with Ronald Reagan? Should we give in to selective memory and post-mortem enshrinement? I say, when we rewrite the lives of important men, we commit the crime of rewriting history itself! I see no honor in that... When I pass, speak freely of my shortcomings and my flaws. Learn from them for I'll have no ego to injure... Caesar: Ok, great. so it's cool if I mention your hair? Huey: What are you gonna say about my hair?! Caesar: You'll be dead, don't worry about it! Yeesh...and then there's your shoes... Huey: Hey!! What's wrong with my shoes?!

Hey, he said speak freely of his flaws. He said nothing about criticizing his good looks. Jeeze!

It’s nice that Huey was willing to put aside the usual “Reagan is the devil” rants on the occasion of his passing. Besides, many people familiar with dementia believe that he was probably not responsible for many of the wrongs tied to his legacy. If he was already in advanced Alzheimer’s by the time he left office, chances are that most of the decisions were made by others, who were surely grateful that he continued to appear lucid for so long.
