Finally! Some sense about Reagan

Not only did I LIVE through Reagan's awful Presidency (deficits, paranoia, jingoism masquerading as "pride"), now I have to listen to his wrong-headed deification. Paul Krugman talks some sense about Reagan--he wasn't popular, and his economic boom pales next to that of (gasp) Bill Clinton's. We're suffering through Reagan's idiot children now, and for that alone anybody who says, "I don't know, Reagan seemed like a nice guy, like a grandpa" deserves a solid punch in the generative organ.
