That article begins:
I ungrudgingly grant Ronald Reagan his modest (yes, modest) role in the collapse of the Soviet Union. Sometimes, geopolitics is as simple as a schoolyard game of chicken, and Reagan played a keen game of chicken as he built up the U.S. military....
It then veers into retelling the Hungary story.
Only this week, in this festive atmosphere of Reaganohagioography, could one conceivable complain that an article that starts by praising Reagan and then goes on to tell
someone else's story can be faulted for failing to praise Reagan in other ways as well. Fortunately, this week will be over soon, and we can all start living in the real world again. It's going to be a tough transition for the Republican pundits who've spent the world in the political equivalent of a circle jerk, but then a funereal mood should be appropriate, right?
