The Webb Reagan Ad is Freaking Awesome
| People have been wanting Jim Webb to introduce himself to Virginians. Well, what if we let Ronald freaking Reagan do it? NLS doesn't like it but I think he's being overly analytical on this one. I love it. Brilliant. So, I suppose now we can look forward to Allen's response: Ronald Reagan attack ads!

Former Reagan Chief of Staff Ken Duberstein, former Counselor to President Reagan and U.S. Attorney General Ed Meese, as well as former Reagan Campaign Chairman and U.S. Senator Paul Laxalt released the following statement this afternoon:
"We are disappointed that James Webb is dishonoring the memory of President Reagan by using an old video clip to imply that Ronald Reagan would be supporting him. He should be ashamed of himself.
"It is Senator George Allen whose leadership, integrity and optimism reminds us of President Reagan. On virtually every issue, from the consistency of his views and outlook, to his constant support for low taxes and less government spending, to his commitment to supporting judges who will interpret the law rather than make new law, it is Senator Allen who is the true heir to President Reagan. He will continue to offer conservative and common sense solutions to the problems we face and will represent Virginia in the Reagan tradition by emphasizing limited government, traditional values and a strong, forward looking foreign policy."
Not to mention the WashPo today running this little gem:
Steve Jarding and Dave "Mudcat" Saunders ... wrote that Reagan was "a pompous, ignorant fool" and that "the vast bulk of Reagan's Administration was a sell-out and a sham."
