My thoughts as well. The only thing I would have done differently is to send the casket back on a slow moving train and dominate the news for another week, just to drive the Liberals crazy. I understand Nancy's stamina is limited and don't blame her for doing things the way she did-- it was a wonderful week of rekindled memories of, easily, the best president in the last century . . . and maybe longer. I'd rank Ronnie behind only Washington and Jefferson, but would have a hard time deciding whether to put him or Lincoln in third.
Take another look at Lincoln and you'll see all the makings of a tyrant, determined to keep his empire together at all costs.
