Still, as one national Democrat lamented privately yesterday, Reagan trumps everything: "You turn on the network news this morning, and suddenly it's not 'More deaths in Iraq' or 'The latest on the prison-abuse scandal' anymore. TV does emotion well, and the death of a popular president is emotional. That's the story line. We can't compete with that." Is there any way to read this other than a desire to see more deaths in Iraq, and more coverage of the prison abuse scandal? I wish there would be a link to these comments by the unnamed national Democrat,'cause I'd like to stick that comment down a few throats.
