The Gipper was an airhead. That’s one of the conclusions of a new biography of Ronald Reagan that’s drawing a tremendous amount of interest and fire today

Hannity never used the word "apparent."

Coming up, the authorized biography of Ronald Reagan calls him, quote, an airhead.

NBC's Jamie Gangel repeated the "airhead" charge without the "apparent" later that day in a Today interview with ex-President George H.W. Bush. The winner: Coulter on points. She was closer to the truth than Couric, who picked this particular fact fight and was wrong. ... The account in Coulter's book (which doesn't make the "three days" charge) appears to be completely accurate
You make such a fool out of yourself.

Not once did anyone from the Today show call Reagan an "airhead," but you're too blind to see it.
