The Reagan Melodrama Continues

For the sixth day straight, almost everything else is on the shelf while the mainstream media does nothing but cover President Reagan's death.

Today, for example, Dep. Defense Secretary (and snake oil salesman chickenhawk) Paul Wolfowitz made sure he was photographed in the rotunda where Mr. Reagan's body lies in state, with a young soldier (missing both forearms) saluting the casket.

It doesn't take a Democrat, a cynic, a critic, or even someone opposed to this administration to notice how all of this is being played like a non-stop campaign commercial for Mr. Bush. But I am beyond outraged that they pulled this wounded soldier out for Mr. Wolfowitz's backdrop.

Look closely at what is going on, then ask yourself, "Is there anything that you can put past these people?" The answer, sadly, is probably not.
