Bob, one of your Congress statues is Ronald Reagan?

You been skinny dipping in the Cuyahoga again? You're getting incoherent Pete. I hope RR is slow roasting on a spit in the seventh level of Dante's Inferno.

Back on topic, anyone catch the Daily Show's take down of Bill O'Reilly and Faux's coverage of Ferguson last night?

According to Dante, level 7 was for the violent, who got to roil forever in a lake of boiling blood.

I could make a case for Reagan for level 8, at least. In level 8, the pit is utterly black, and the sinners are endlessly tortured by demons. This was for the fraudsters, and Reagan qualifies well.

Level 9, the lowest, was for those who treacherously betray positions of high trust. Famous souls there include Judas, and Satan himself. Reagan, as the US President who betrayed America to the .01-percenters, might indeed qualify.

Though I like his show (though less than Colbert), I found it reflexively pro-liberal and shallow, almost as much as the Fox drivel he was criticizing. Colbert's "Better Know a District" last night was epic though.

Reagan is in the super secret level reserved for well liked Republicans
