This is the ONLY thing I'm gonna say about Reagan's death:
Edited on Tue Jun-08-04 05:50 PM by northwest
I really haven't said anything the past few days about his passing, and now I want to say something:

OK, Does anyone remember the animated show "The Critic" starring Jon Lovitz as Jay Sherman? Well, in one episode in 1995, Jay's boss, Duke Phillips, was running for President. Duke completely flipped is lid at one point, and interrupted Jay's movie critic show, saying what he would do if he was President:

"If you elect me President, I tell you what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna run the country like I run my business!! I'm gonna dump chemicals in the oceans, raid the pension funds, and sell all our best assets to the Japanese!!!"

Then Ronald Reagan and Nancy are watching the thing on TV, and Ronnie says:

"Wow, looks like Reaganomics is making a comeback!"

I just wanted to share that with you, because THAT my friends, is what I think of when I think of Reagan passing away. Not the horrible things he did with the lower classes, not some glorified, brainwashed view of a good president. I just think of that REALLY funny-ass quote from The Critic.

After all, I was only 6 1/2 years old when he left office.
