William F. Buckley, and the National Review, was my primer in conservative politics. I went from political egnostic in College, to a die-hard conservative after my first year in the Navy.

I'll never forget the looks of glee on their faces when Reagan was shot. They tried to disguise it but you could tell they *wanted* so badly to report Reagan was dead. ABC even announced James Brady was dead when it turned out to be untrue.

It's possible some reporters saw it as a way to instantly elevate their careers as some did during JFK's murder but you couldn't miss the fact that they were cheerleading for the death of the President of the United States.

To this day, I think many Democrats would have suggested a national holiday for Hinckley if his aim had only been better.

It was being drafted by Lyndon Johnson that did it for me.
