You first insisted that Reagan was the least educated POTUs of the past 75 years, which blew up in your face with Harry Truman, tried to save face by adjusting that to the last 59 and are now admitting once again you’re wrong regarding LBJ, though you don’t want to admit you’re wrong regarding JFK.

You showed him.

I could hardly fail to be wrong when you dismiss the things I’m right about. Again, it was a throwaway line, one which you have completely missed the point of - but as I said, all glory to you.

Sigh,

You claimed that Reagan was “the least educated President” of the last 59 years.

How was he “less educated than LBJ” who like him only had a Bachelor’s degree?

For that matter I’m not sure that Eisenhower recieved any graduate degrees following West Point and Kennedy certainly didn’t.

What would Ronald Reagan do  
If he was here right now?  
He’d hear a plan  
And he’d claim it, too,  
That’s what Ronald Reagan’d do!

When Ronald Reagan was in the Army  
Fighting World War II,  
He never left the States, but said  
He was there and freed the Jews!

When Ronald Reagan was in Hollywood,  
Heading up the SAG,  
He turned the names of Comsymps in  
To the fucking HUAC scumbags!

So what would Ronald Reagan do  
If he were here today?  
I’m sure he’d stab a back or two,  
That’s what Ronald Reagan’d do!  
(With apologies to Stone & Parker, and Brian Boitano.)
