Jim DeMint would be calling him a socialist now.

SC ETV, keen to hoover up all the cash it can in its' ludicrous "Show Your Love" campaign, dusted off a 1998 biopic on Ronald Reagan tonight as part of the centennial festishiszation.

If you saw if before, you'll have seen it again.

But one thing was striking: a speech in 1980 when Regan declared, "A recession is when your neighbor loses his job. A depression is when you lose yours."

Which makes the desperate scrum of Republicans trying to wrap themselves in the latter-day Shroud of Turin interesting as they prostrate themselves to show how keen they are to cut off the unemployed and other safety net programs as the heirs of Ronaldus Magnus.
