i dunno, sir. i don't remember seeing quite the same level of Officially Sanctioned Vitriol when reagan died.
maybe i wasn't looking in the right places.
it's possible.
speaking for myself, i detested the reagan administration.
but it never occurred to me to piss all over his image at the time his death.
you'd think it'd be easy at some moments to separate media-image from human being somewhere behind it.
but hey, maybe these are just my personal limitations.
and maybe because of them i missed out on some fun.
it's happened before.
