Comic actor Will Ferrell made a good decision Friday. He pulled out of “Reagan,” a comedy movie project that sought to portray Ronald Reagan’s presidency as the result of an intern skillfully manipulating him in his early stages of Alzheimer’s disease.

What’s amazing, yet not surprising, is that anyone in Hollywood was dumb enough and tasteless enough to let this project get further than square one, or that one of America’s biggest comic actors would consider associating himself with it.
