What do you expect when this is linked from the politics board?
Are we not supposed to mention that Reagan saddled my generation with insurmountable debt? Or that he squandered our resources on an arms race of ludicris proportions (how many times over do we need to be able to eradicate all human life on the planet?)? Or that he thought ketchup was a vegetable? Or that he began and poured money into the Star Wars program (still 0% success rate!)? Or that he laid a wreath on a Nazi memorial? Or that he didn't know Hawaii was a state?
BTW it's not "apocryphal" to say he was handled during his entire presidency, every appearance, it's a fact. I've heard from people that saw him during his state government days without the handlers and scripts, that he would utter embarassing howler after howler.
also BTW I wasn't jabbing him for his illness, it's a truely sad way to go, having the mind unravel like that. Maybe Nancy will be able to convince the Evangelicals in power now that stem-cell research isn't "killing babies" before we lose another technological advance.
