I think this would be the perfect opportunity for John McCain to go to Cedar Rapids, Iowa with Bush and “Heckuva Job” Brownie to recount one of Reagan’s quips: “The most terrifying words in the English language are: I’m from the government and I’m here to help.”
It’d really secure his conservative bona fides and his commitment to the legacy of Reagan. And, I’m sure the people of Cedar Rapids could use a humorous pick-me-up at the moment.
