2. Remember his Iran Contra defense was "I did WHAT? Well I guess I did!"
I remember my parents going, WTF if his HEART said he didn't do it and the FACTS said he did, where is his BRAIN in that deal?? Of course all that is flushed down the RW memory hole re: St. Ronnie The Perfect!

3. Shrub had idiocy during his time in office, which produced worse results? I
might ask.

5. I think Shrub & Ronnie were both just propped up suits
Used by the corporations to sell what they wanted. Neither one had any lofty ambitions or philosophies or intellect, they were motivated purely by their own ego. Sarah is the same way.

13. LOL Freepers are quoting Michael Reagan already
Have you ever seen his "Dad? Dad is that you?" article re: Sarah Palin?? I think Michael should go get himself checked out!

9. I thought it was
common knowledge, even at the time. I'm surprised that anyone is surprised by this so-called revelation.

20. A lot of late night jokes about his ditzy-ness.
Of course if he had been diagnosed, it would have been different on all the late night shows.

11. On the bright side
when he said "I don't remember" during Iran Contra... he was, most likely, telling the truth.

The 25th should have been invoked... as early as 1985.

Oh and this is shocking exactly how?

Actually I hardly even know who Lance Bass is.

But I am aware that Ronald Reagan, Santa, and the Easter Bunny are all fictional.

15. There were questions at the time, but people did their best
explain things awasy. After he left office there were discussions
I can remember--some on C-Span.

22. I recall Nancy saying as much.
She's very resentful about the way "Ronnie" was used by "them".

(GHW, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and other lesser-known dickweeds.)
