...former felons like Ed Meese...

Fact check time. Meese was never convicted of any crimes, though I suspect that you already know that.

BTW: will Carter, Ford and Bush Sr also get week-long stop the presses coverage? It's not like RR got assassinated or something. He was 93 and close to death for a long-long time. It's getting a little much.

Turn your television off. Any reason for leaving Clinton off of your list? Is he going to be with us forever?

HOUSTON - In a sort of senior-citizen version of "Fear
Factor," former President George H. W. Bush plans to
celebrate his 80th birthday by jumping out of a plane
Sunday at 13,000 feet.

What are the odds that two former Presidents die within a
week of each other?

American Spirit, you are a liar. Ed Meese is not a felon.
Stop the lies! You know nothing about honesty.

This whole week nothing but interviews with former felons like Ed Meese telling us how great and honest Reagan was.

HARD TIMES AT THE NEOCON CORRAL...

washingtonmonthly.com

Paul Richter writes in the LA Times about tough times for neocons:

Fourteen months ago, Kenneth Adelman was one of the prominent neoconservatives who took part in a now-storied victory celebration at the home of Vice President Dick Cheney that was described in Bob Woodward's book "Plan of Attack."

Since then, Adelman acknowledged, the group's influence has declined, because "Iraq didn't turn out to be as promising as it was billed."

Adelman, a former Reagan administration official, said that although he supported the rationale for the war, he was torn about what had happened since. "I still have to sort it all out. I'm just not settled yet," he said.

...."Bush could end up looking like the worst president since Jimmy Carter because of Iraq, and people are going to say, 'You got us into this mess,' " said one Washington source who considered himself a neoconservative and spoke on the condition of anonymity. "It's going to be nasty and bitter and brutal."

The worst president since Jimmy Carter? Harsh words indeed.
