Here! Here! Now that was worth a click. Someone had to do this and I'm glad it was Glenda Jackson.

No, it was Reagan. If you consider their political philosophies, Carter would more likely be the one to have compassion for those with no voice and Reagan the one to care only about reducing government expenses regardless of the social costs.

There's a parallel to Reagan here, even in death. When Reagan died, the praise was worthy of a demigod when all he did was act his way through the eight years of his presidency. No mention of his failures, illegal acts and dishonesty or his diminished cognitive abilities.

I would like to have heard what Ms. Jackson would have had to say debating a tribute to Reagan.

On a day when even the Left side of my local fishwrap was eulogizing Maggie, through David Fucking Brookshit, it's good to hear that I WASN'T living in Bizarro World all this time, that Thatcher really was as hated and despised as I thought.

you're assuming that Cheney's corpse won't simply disappear in a blinding flash of light and puff of smoke as the demons call one of their own home to the underworld
