What with a republican senator threatening to revoke CBS's broadcast
licence over a miniseries that CBS was going to show, and the RNC
demanding editorial power over what CBS shows, when in fact CBS had
documentation for every single scene and line in the mini series, like
the following:

In "Dutch," Reagan's __authorized__ biography, the author, Edmund Morris,
writes that Reagan once said of AIDS, "Maybe the Lord brought down this
plague," because "illicit sex is against the Ten Commandments."



However, according to another report I received, the line the actor portraying President Reagan delivers in the show as filmed is actually:


"They that live in sin shall die in sin,"

I have not personally seen the show or the script, so it is possible that may not be an accurate transcript. If accurate, though, it certainly sounds worse than the line quoted above from the authorized biography. Perhaps there would have been fewer objections if the former President had been correctly quoted.
