Totally clueless. They caught on later, but we already had the TV’s tuned to C-SPAN and I didn’t need to hear the alphabet media wax poetic on a great man that they had nothing but contempt for.
When I watched the national service, and saw Carter and Clinton, I was more than amused. When these two reprobates go, there will be NOTHING like the national outpouring of grief we as a nation felt during that time.
And the media never got it then, and doesn’t get it now. Ronald Reagan loved his country, loved his countrymen, and never let us ever forget, not for one day, what a special nation we had built here and how each one of us had a special stake in its continued prosperity.
When Carter goes, I plan to make a special visit to Plains, Georgia to pour a fine bottle of Scotch over his grave. But it will have to pass through my kidneys first.
