Oh, you know we all have experienced this one. VH1 has made a virtual industry out of such lists as the 100 greatest artists of rock and roll and their latest, the 100 greatest dance songs. Some things are just not meant to be quantified. If it hasn't been said yet, it looks like I got the chance to grab some thunder.

Let me spell it out more clearly in the longer commentary. The Gipper told some whoppers in his day. Washington Post columnist Richard Cohen cites a few examples in a recent column like when President Reagan told an annual meeting of the Congressional Medal of Honor Society about a World War II B-17 commander who stayed with a wounded crewman rather than bail out of a falling plane. Congressional Medal of Honor, posthumously awarded. It's obvious the group-think preparation strategy wasn't exactly a winner in last week's debate.
