I've had just about enough deification for one day: No Praise for Reagan

"Spare me the heapings of praise for Ronald Reagan.
He was one of the worst presidents we've ever had.
In fact, he should have been impeached for the Iran-Contra scandal, and he might have been had Congress and the media just done their jobs. Reagan misappropriated funds, and then he lied about it. He traded with Iran, an enemy of the United States, and he lied about that, too.
But Congress went weak in the knees when Ollie North showed up strutting in his uniform.
And the media fell down, too. Katherine Graham, owner of The Washington Post, said the country couldn't handle another impeachment crisis, and so the Post downplayed it.
Let's be clear on Reagan's record."
