As long as we're discussing Reagan's comment about bombing the
Soviet Union, I wanted to point out another frightening (?) comment
by Reagan that I saw recently.

About 10 days ago, I saw a news clip of Reagan and Nancy talking
to reporters while on (yet another) vacation to S. California.
A reporter asked Reagan what was being done to resume arms control
talks with the Soviets. Reagan kind of stood there looking for some
kind of an intelligent response (you won't find it in your head
Ron!) and after about 5 seconds of silence, Nancy whispered to the
President, "We're working on it". Then Reagan said, "We're working
on it". Brilliant! At least Nancy's mind is still functioning!

Seriously, it is frightening that Reagan couldn't even come up with
anything to say. Even if he had ducked the question, that would be
fine, but he just stood there in a state of confusion. This illustrates
how really out of touch Reagan is with day-to-day goings on in the
world. I simply cannot respect a wo/man who cannot even articulate his/her
beliefs. I DO respect a wo/man who can articulate his/her beliefs, even
if those beliefs are different than mine. 

Perhaps Reagan doesn't really know what his beliefs are unless they are 
on 5x7 inch queue cards. He certainly seems to do well when he's reading
from queue cards.

At least Mondull *seems* intelligent, although that's about all he has
going for him.....
