SUCH HUGE CLAY FEET.

Another misspeak, another apology. This time it's the right wing's favorite victim, Hillary Clinton. Except they've painted themselves into a corner with this one. Hillary mistakenly gave the Reagans credit for supporting AIDS research, when in fact that sat on their hands while thousands were dying But the Reagans were such bullshit artists that they probably did convince some people that they had hearts after all. So I excuse Hillary from falling for their pro-AIDS propaganda once they climbed belatedly aboard the train full of so many dead. But what I love is that Hillary, being forced to apologize, is shining a huge spotlight on the lack of caring reflected by the over-rated Reagan and his even more over-rated wife. Despite all the hype of her excessive funeral this week, Nancy Davis was a third-rate actress who hitched her wagon to a second-rate star who became president.  If one is to judge from all the news reports Nancy and Ronald could boast one of the past century's great love stories. But the sad fact is that as deeply as they loved each other, they seemed to have no actual love for anyone else, not even their children.
