>>>>>>The following came to me today in an e-mail:
>>>>>>
>>>>>>The Centers for Disease Control have issued a warning about a virulent new strain of disease contracted through dangerous, high risk behaviour. The disease is called Gonorrhea Lectim and pronounced "gonna re-elect him." Many victims contracted it in 2004 after having been screwed for the past four years.
>>>>>>
>>>>>>Cognitive characteristics of individuals infected include antisocial personality disorders, delusions of grandeur with messianic overtones, inability to incorporate new information, paranoia, inability to accept responsibility for own actions, cowardice masked by misplaced bravado, uncontrolled facial smirking, ignorance of geography and history, tendencies towards evangelical theocracy, categorical all-or-nothing behaviour.
>>>>>>
>>>>>>Naturalists and epidemiologists are amazed at how this destructive disease originated only a few years ago from a single Bush found in Texas.
>>>>>
>>>>>So, anyone who voted for Bush is diseased? It's ok, I would be the first one to say "funny is funny" so I can't really complain...
>>>>
>>>>It's kinda funny. I just supplanted the name Clinton every place Bush was supposed to be. I'm thinking of starting a drive to exhume Ronald Reagan though, or meybe we could just get him on the ballot for the next presidential election! He would do a better job dead than the rest of either party's offerings!
>>>>
>>>
>>>Didn't RR's second term already give us a preview of how he would have governed dead? His Alzheimer's was well underway, and he was never exactly a details man to begin with. His grasp of complex issues was shaky even according to close aides.
>>>
>>>Now before you jump up and down on me and try out your latest weaponry, I am not a Ronald Reagan hater. Personally he was a very likeable guy. Even people who couldn't stand his politics (like me) liked him as a person. And I give him credit for having an impact. He set out a clear agenda of American jauntiness and assertion which was a tonic to many Americans in the aftermath of Vietnam and the "malaise" of the Carter years. To a great extent his vision has shaped American politics and international relationships for the past quarter century, and for that he must be credited. Most politicians, even Presidents, make little if any difference. The other recent President who comes immediately to mind is FDR. Whether you liked them or not -- and they both inspired fierce passions on both sides -- they left their mark. So I give him credit for that.

>>Great?? He should have been tried & convicted for the iran-Contra thing. Had a democrat been involved in
>>Iran-Contra, he would have been strung up on a pole in downtown DC by the republicans.

>I didn't call him great.

>Was Iran-Contra an impeachable offense? And could it have been tied to Reagan directly? I'm not sure about that.

Iran-Contra was a criminal offense. And anyone who believes that Reagan wasn't involved is a fool.
