Ted Rall is a complete moron. I didn't say anything when the neo-con war-bloggers eviscerated him for his anti-Bush, anti-war cartoons, even though I pretty much agreed with them in that they looked like they were drawn by Jr. High students. And I really can't get all excited about all the Reagan worship going on now, but this piece is particularly embarrassing:
The federal tax code, originally conceived to redistribute wealth from top to bottom, was "reformed" to eradicate social justice.
So, Reagan's shameful legacy is that he wasn't a raging communist?

Reagan wasn't without his deserved criticisms, but holy cow, Ted is off the deep end on this one. Presidents are largely a product of their era, and the people that say Reagan just got lucky to be in the right place at the right time are the exact same people that claim every freakin' sunrise during the Clinton Administration as a victory for progressive liberalism.

Ted, maybe you shouldn't drink so much bong water before you pound out your next column.
