Book it!

POSTED: Monday, February 16, 2009, 2:14 PM



The lack of posts here is because I was kicking off a week-long stint over at the TPMCafe Book Club, where we're talking about "Tear Down This Myth." The theme of my initial post is familiar to regular readers, but the twist will be when other commentators like "Nixonland"'s Rick Perlstein and Douglas Kmiec, who was a lawyer in the Reagan administration, weigh in later in the week.

    Will -- I fixed your post ... "The lack of posts here is because, while I usually have uninteresting things to say, I was kicking off a week-long snoozer over at the Book Burning Club where we are still gnashing our remaining teeth over Reagan's legacy."

    Your cheating on us Will. Bring some of those TPMers over here so we can bash them around a little.

    Real authenticity when you get a lawyer from the Reagan Administrationto chime in. Lot's of good job opportunites for disgruntled republicans. The other way around? Not so much. They seem to have a hard time getting on NPR and the opinon maker shows.

    Wow Will...looked at your video on Amazon and was disgusted to hear you drag Reagan's medical condition and incapacitation into the discussion of why he wasn't criticized much after his presidency. Stay classy.

    Genie. Iggy. Leggy. Pizzy. Tarty. Unless you have read this book and can conclusively prove Wills' research wrong, you should take a big dose of STFU. But no, you folks will continue to suck up the Kool Aid.

    Hey Some Boca Dude, you idiot, I said I WATCHED HIS VIDEO ON AMAZON. Whatever his research in the book says may or may not support his comments in the video...I have no idea. But that wasn't my point...I wasn't refuting Will's opinion (which is what it is) about Reagan's critics, I was only pointing out its classlessness.

    Ummm... Boca Dude -- where did I comment on Snoozy's book? So while YOU are STFU, why don't you invest some time in a reading comprehension class.
