And despite it all he went on to make neo-liberalism the economic status quo in the United States for going on forty years. Well, done, Ronnie!

And Hustler went on to spend the next eight years exposing Reagan's corruption, heartlessness and lawlessness with investigative reporting in most every issue. Jim Carter was too much of a bookish policy wonk to connect with the electorate. Mondale was ... whatever he was. Ronnie was Hollywood, and he knew how to entertain the masses. And he did. During Reagan II, the GOPs policies were despised but Ronnie himself remained highly popular because of his Aw-shucks-ma'am Persona. Ronnie gave us the Teleprompter Shuffle, and was clearly starting to suffer mental decay as early as 1985.

I think what I admire most about Reagan is his ability to knot up the lacy panties of all the future helicopter-riders even decades after his death.

Neo-cons are shit, but commies are even worse. I hate a lot of Reagan's influence, and if he were alive today he'd probably be one of my most hated people, but he did get Mr. Gorbachev to tear down that wall. So fuck you, commies. Your system was so shit you had to build walls to keep people in. Also, monkey movies are always funny. Bedtime for Bonzo is great.
