Oh, please. They went after Reagan. They're coming after Rush. See my post at #51.

Reagan was long gone before the Republican revolution. It was midway through Clinton’s term. Don’t you recall all the BS about his book deal and how they brow beat him into giving up all the royalties? Or how they got onto his college course about renewing America and filed a hundred or more ethics charges against him? Or the wire tap on his cell phone conversation with a couple of other Republican leaders that was leaked to the press by a Democrat?
From the day he took over as Speaker it was one thing after another. Clinton dissed him because he was made to depart Air Force one via a back staircase while Clinton and his Democrat buddies went down the main exit? Or when CLINTON vetoed a continuing resolution to keep government going and then managed to pin the blame on Gingrich, and the damned Republicans he, and Rush, had gotten into power wouldn’t say a word in his defense. Or the Time, or Newsweek cover, with him as the Grinch (Gingrich) who stole Christmas? Or the press pictures of him in diapers, with a bottle accusing him of being whiner? The list goes on and on.
As I recall he finally came to his senses and told them to stick it where the sun don’t shine, and he went off to make his fortune in the private world.
I know there are those who have absolutely no respect for him whatsoever, and that’s a personal thing, but I was in the news business in the days all this was going on and I have not forgotten how dirty and underhanded it was and how he was left to swing in the breeze by the bastards of GOP.
And it looks like nothing changed to this day.
