Just a quick note to mark the passing of Michael Deaver, one of the sleaziest guys in the Reagan administration.
Deaver was Reagan's public image guy, responsible for dreaming up all those photo ops designed to make the president look like vaguely God-like, or at least as God-like as a guy in early stages of Alzheimer's could be. Deaver set a beloved GOP precedent by peddling his influence to whatever corporations would pay him most, and when he was brought up on charges for it, claimed alcoholism prevented him from remembering details, a trick still being used.
Godspeed on your journey to the infinite, Mr. Deaver! The hallowed halls of D.C. are still covered with the viscous traces of your slime!
