Okay, Bill Clinton is liberal, Ronald Reagan is conservative. Clinton sleeps four hours a night, Reagan's awake four hours a day. Ba-dum. But take a closer look at these two very media-savvy campaigners. There are some eye-opening (maybe even spooky) similarities.
REAGAN:
*Loved by (Old) Hollywood.
*Inaugural stars: Frank Sinatra, Johnny Carson, and Donny and Marie Osmond, safe-as-milk pop idols.
*Ad campaign theme: ''It's morning in America.''
*Wife seen as meddlesome and power-hungry.
*Inaugural gala: ''The greatest collection of talent America could offer,'' said producer Sinatra. Critics hated it.
*Rewards of power: Son Ron gets TV gig.
CLINTON:
*Loved by (New) Hollywood.
*Inaugural stars: Barbra Streisand, Michael Bolton, and Fleetwood Mac, safe-as-milk pop idols.
*Inaugural speech's theme: ''We force the spring.''
*Wife seen as meddlesome and power-hungry.
*Inaugural gala: ''You just don't realize the scope of this thing,'' said producer Quincy Jones. Critics hated it.
*Rewards of power: Brother Roger gets record deal.
