I remember this.
Thank you, Nancy, for not letting the 'Toon speak
Actually, it wasn't anything personal.
The plan is: the current president - Bush; Reagan's VP - Bush; Speaker of the House - Hastert; President Pro-Tem of the Senate - ?. All members of the government are represented.
The fact these people all happen to be republicans is just coincidental. This plan was written in 1989. Reagan had no way of knowing who would hold these offices when he died.
This whining by the dems that they were somehow overlooked is just their typical egotistical jealousy. Disgusting people.
