5. Sarah is an idiot. The neocons' efforts to repair
her rep. are amusing.

When Raygun left office, his flagging numbers were widely reported. He was a tired, disconnected, and confused, much like the last for years of his presidency. Then, the GOP embarked on something that I scoffed and laughed at at that time. They worked on rehabilitating his rep. They demanded that buildings, airports, highways (all federal projects) be named for him. They claimed that he was visionary, brilliant, and he personally destroyed the USSR with his bare hands. It was so untrue, that many folks simply ignored it.
Unfortunately for us, they never stopped pushing the lies. Eventually, Reagan the evil one transmuted into Reagan the conservative wonder.

I don't think we should take their efforts to fix W's or Sarah's reps too lightly.
