Jim, it's time for historians to look more closely at the highly touted  
Grade B Reagan Revolution and its offspring generation of Dickies(Cheney),  
Newties(Gingrich) and Willies(Bennett).
 
The sheen of the prime time spin looks rather crusty and corroded under a  
modicum of sunshine and scrutiny.  Even the "horsy" tales underscore the  
valiance of the cowboys.  To now blame Iraq on the Iraquis and our own  military is 
connected directly on blaming test results on kids, then parents,  then 
districts, then states.  Anyone but me: the psychosis of the  self-deluded 
generation continues.  Run away from commitment, spend our  parent's money, spend our 
children's money, then blame it on our priests, our  teachers and Washington:  
it's the virtuous roll of the dices as real  conservatism gets droned out for 
the death of gamblers and addicts a la Ann  Coulter and Rush Limbaugh.  
McNamara's book to be soon followed by  Rumsfeld's book.  What a great tradition !!! 
 What's left for us to do  is erase our databank, adopt amnesia and elect Gov 
Jeb according to the teary  recommendations of Father 41 !!!  We in Florida 
highly recommend it,  too!!!  By 2008 even a Floridian can run against Congress 
and the  White House ... again!!!
