Reagan's Long Legacy: The mainstream press continues to be astounded by evidence that Reagan was not a moron. The same sort of thing happened a few years ago when a book of his pre-presidential speeches and op-eds was published, showing Reagan to have a facility with the subtleties of economic policy that went beyond what the press suspected from a "genial idiot."

I guess that this will continue for many years, with Reagan finally taking the mantle he deserves, as the GOP's answer to FDR.
