So, let me see if I have this right. The idiot who had the audacity to declare in 1987 that Ronald Wilson Reagen was sliding into dementia, has only proven that Ronnie on his worst day, was certainly a whole lot smarter than the declaree. With that in mind, maybe it is understandable why the son of the declaree is working on the court case, or did I miss the demise of the declaree, or is this just more evidence of the state of mind of said declaree who on his best day couldn't handle a simple email from Nigeria, while RWR was winning the cold war, running the country, and generally making fools of those who thought he was the idiot.
Reagan won the debates. If he was mentally impaired, what does that make Jimmy Carter and Fritz Mondale?
Incidentally, four years into his mental impairment, Reagan carried 49 states and defeated Mondale 525 to 13 in the electoral college.
Is anyone else feeling a slight amount ot schadenfreude right now, cause I sure know that I am.

Justice does tend to be poetic, eh?
Well, one thing is for sure....He wasn't a Rocket Scientist!

Forwarded to two liberal friends in CA who are so impressed with what the academic elite tells them to think. Awaiting response.
ROFLMAO
Eight years of Clinton just seem to further this professors mental decline.
A fool and his money. Except this fool knew enough to destroy records to cover up his foolishness. Sounds as if he may have thought that he was running a scam on his own.
Karma, Neh?
I can't believe someone actually fell for that scam. This guy really is an idiot.
Book smart, life dumb.
$3 mil.
Un-frickin' believable!
Even without a PhD, I learned at an early age that greedy people are those who get caught in con games. It's a human behavior thing that the Scam artists look for. Honest people who are not greedy do not fall for the bunko games.
The only downside to this story is that the geezer still has some money left. I hope Britt Hume picks this up for his "grapevine" segment.
I wasn't aware that the Nigerian Internet scams went back that far, but I have been aware as of a few months ago, that I seemed to have LOTS of new Nigerian friends---there would be at least 2 e mails a day almost EVERY day for a few months, it seemed. Always the same song and dance. These things seem to come in waves----about 3 years ago, I called the NYC FBI when they started appearing in my e mail/ Of course, they were nothing new to the FBI---they'd known about them for some time. But lately, man, that was an e mail TSUNAMI that I thought would never end. But it finally did. For variety, there was even one from a painter residing in England, who needed help in getting her paintings sold and delivered in the USA, with promises of a hefty cut of the sale price for willing helpers in the USA....I eventually looked up this painter, who had a website of her own, and the first thing I saw was MY NAME IS BEING USED BY A SCAM ARTIST ON THE INTERNET!! IT IS NOT ME!!!!
This is so true. It’s like a youngster who buys a used car after his parents told him that the used car was a piece of junk. As soon as the car breaks down the first time, he will fix the car quietly by using his savings, or borrowing money from friends, or doing the mechanical work himself. Then the car will break down again, and the cycle will repeat, keeping his parents in the dark about the car's failures.
Trying to prove to his parents that he was ‘right’, the youngster can squander a lot of time and money. Of course, eventually reality kicks in, and the whole house of cards will come crashing down.
Even as mature adults, we play the same game on ourselves and our loved ones. Sometimes my wife will tell me that certain choice will be unwise, but I’ll go ahead with the wrong choice anyway for my own reasons. Eventually, when I start to have doubts about the unwise choice, I’ll try to play down the negatives and keep on defending the poor choice. In order to prove that I’m right, I will delay the inevitable as long as I can. At the end, I will have to admit that the choice was unwise. What a costly mind game is this rationalization trap!
Cult leaders, just like any other con men, know how to play that game too. That’s why when a loved one is sucked into one of those cults, he will continue to defend the cult and even draw closer to the weirdos in order to prove to himself and his family that he was right about accepting the cult teachings originally. The more we try to pry away our loved one from the cult, the more he will get into it. It’s a lose-lose situation.
