Ronald Reagan – RIP

There has been a lot of stuff written about Ronald Reagan over the last few days. Some view him as the saviour of America and the man responsible for the end of the cold war, the demise of the Soviet Union and the fall of Eastern Europe’s communist regimes. Some view him as a reckless, deceitful president responsible for huge budget deficits and the Iran-Contra scandal, who merely happened to be in charge at the same time as the Soviet Union was going into a self-made decline owing to its own unsustainable military spending.

But I remember him best as the Spitting Image puppet star of “The Presidents Brain is Missing.”

Now THAT was comedy.

Thanks Ronnie
