I also find it strange -- though not completely insulting -- that you equate my politics with those of George Carlin.
On your Penske point -- this is a strange conversation to have, but the analogy only works if "we" constantly brought up Pres. Reagan, the jelly beans, Nancy Reagan, Iran-Contra, the astrologer, and RR's likely illness for the last two years of his office (for example) at every opportunity -- and kept hammering away at those items as purported substantive responses to issues of the day, as Penske does with the Clintons (sorry, Clintoons).
That is different than making some of the same arguments, with some of the same themes, about and against policies of the Bush II administration which some "liberals" may have made about and against Reagan back in the day. That simply shows ideological consistency. I'd wager that some of the conservative talking points from the Carter days showed up again during the Clinton years.

The difference is Reagan effected positive lasting change on both the domestic and international front. Clinton's legacy is perjury, sexual harassment, failed healthcare initiative; attempt to conspire with a babykilling terrorist to cement the second genocide of the jews and 3000 Americans dead.
