Maybe we could cannonize him instead? Drop the skull in a cannon, try to shoot it through a $600 toilet seat hanging half a mile away. First man to get Reagan's skull through the hoop wins a year's supply of vegetables (aka, catsup).
Sorry hon. It's probably going to go on through the elections (with a hugeoid tribute at the republican convention)...then, maybe people can remember that he wasn't really all that great and that he made so many kids in our generation *sure* they were gonna die in a nuclear war (me included) among many other things.
Of course, some people will never believe he was anything but an amazingterrificwonderful president, better than anyone evereverever.
I have decided that little George had Reagan killed in hope of raising his approval rate by sympathy and obfuscation of other more important stories.
The news will be ignoring Iraq scandals and other such things out of respect for the dead.
Reporter: But sir, what about this weeks scandal in Iraq and the resignation of the CIA's Don. Other Reporter: Shut up! Reagan has died. Don't you have any decency man?
And Picture this conversation in the typical American home.
Wife: Dear, Reagan died. Husband: He has? Wife: Yes. Was he a Republican? Husband. Yes. Those poor bastards. Wife: Is little George a Republican? Husband: Yes. Wife: Than I am going to vote for little George. Those Republicans need something good in all this grief. Husband: But the election is not till November. Wife: I know, but that Reagan man was a hero and a saint. Those republicans will be grieving a long time.
Look, give the man credit, he played the part of President very well, almost Oscar worthy. Although looking at waht is there now, he is looking pretty good.
The last gift that we got from Reagan was the fact that his endless obit happens at the same time as the 10th anniversary of the Nicole Simpson murder, so we'll hear much less about that than we would have otherwise. They had quite a bit of coverage in the can before this happened. Thanks Ron.
