5 days of Reagan
On the first day of Reagan, my true love gave to me....
Anyhow, I picked up the USA Today outside my hotel room door, and that's what they tell me they're giving him.
Eesh.
I wish they'd stop calling Reagan "beloved." Or at least they could qualify it: "Beloved by many, grudgingly tolerated by some...."
And it looks to me like that "optimistic" meme is really taking off—it's seen as Reagan's primary virtue. I hope the RNC wasn't smart enough to try to position Inerrant Boy as optimistic, as opposed to those pessimistic Democrats, in anticipation of Reagan's death—that would be scary smart. Anyhow, the optimistic meme might be one way the ghouls at the RNC could hijack Reagan's body on its way to the grave, to use for Campaign 2004.
