It's Reagan week

Tom Brokaw (NBC Nightly News) and Dan Rather (CBS Evening News) have both expressed that the coverage of President Ronald Reagan is overkill. Let's put this into perspective. In the past 6 months the New York Times has placed the Abu Graib prison scandal on the front page 57 times, the story is 6 months old. NBC when "Friends" went off the air they covered it for a month. But we can't talk about a president for a week. This isn't overkill, in fact it's probably not enough. Ronald Wilson Reagan ended a cold war, improved the United States economy and made enough jokes to make us all laugh for decades to come. Tonight on Capital Hill thousands are standing in line waiting to see this great man while he lies in State in the Capital Rotunda.
