repubbbs are quick to let reagan take credit for the collapse of the soviet union, as if he had anything to do with the corruption that ate away at its over-entended infrastructure. but he did his best bob villa impression with the memorable "mr. gorbachev, tear down that wall."
it was revealed that reagan suffered from alzheimer's disease in early 1987 when he discovered he could not remember any involvement in the iran-contra scandal.
reagan's late spring demise will deprive awol of any big "taking on the mantle" hoopla next fall, thus forcing him to run on his record, something no repubbb wants.
Skippy about sums up my reaction, but with better humor and far less bile.
