What would have been awesome (assuming it had to happen at all) is if all this happened in the week of the DNC convention and we could have watched the Reagan praising live on TV.
Uncle Ted has just delivered the best summation I've seen for keeping President Bush on the job. At a time when the junior guy from his home state has been forced to suspend politicking. Life is delicious! The Gipper would have approved.
It has trumped the release of Clinton's book, and I wouldn't underestimate the possibility that this will initiate a resurgence of Reagan-style conservatism as people remember what he acheived, and the ideology and leadership that freed much of the world from communist oppression. Who knows, maybe it will last through the election...
Reagan praising and the inevitable comparisons to the sitting president.
