I’m not hungering for his scalp, I just want Iran Contra to be part of the context, ESPECIALLY now in this dervish of crazy talking points about how Obama is weak on iran. History is history, you don’t suppress it. I wouldn’t want Clinton’s failures to be supressed either. I intensely dislike the creepy lionization of Reagan as some Christ figure to GOP politicians. They like him because he’s a winner, and then do things Reagan would never approve of.

Don’t get so wound up, Wind Up. I do not lionize Reagan. He did a good job. Some good, some not so good, No more, no less. Cripes.
