You nailed the response I was going to make almost to the word.

Hugh's gone over the edge.

So, the President of the United States was a victim? It wasn't his fault, that he broke his 'no new taxes' promise, that he signed the quota bill, that he signed the Clean Air Act and foisted the Americans with Disabilities Act upon us? It's the fault of a newspaper columnist and cable news talk show host? Alllllrighty then.

Ronald Reagan ran against incumbent President Gerald Ford in the 1976 GOP primary. Jimmy Carter went on to beat Gerald Ford in the general election. So, using Hugh's "logic", the Carter Presidency disasters are the fault of... Ronald Reagan.
