speaking of scrutiny on you-tube, I wish I could see clips of Ronald Reagan making an ass of himself like Bush on this one
Look around, I believe there are DVDs of "Not Necessarily the News" out there. Outside of Rich Hall's Sniglets and other sorts of topical humor, a fair portion of every show tended to involve playing (and sometimes editing and adding in funnier stuff) Reagan's many verbal faux pas.
Sometimes he'd lose his train of thought midsentence, or think one word in the script was something else, and he'd keep rereading the lines over and over, trying to get it to come out right.
But Reagan was always at his worst when he was ad-libbing. Whether it was talking about what might happen if aliens came in UFOs, suggesting that we still couldn't be SURE Martin Luther King wasn't a communist agitator, or telling "true life" WW2 war stories that turned out to be the plots of fictional Hollywood films, Reagan was just plain all over the place. Somehow none of it ever stuck to him. The economy was good enough and people just plain didn't give a shit.
I could call Leon's Sports Book, but I don't think they'll give me a line on it if it's not a sporting event. Shit, they won't even let me bet on a derby bout!
I think you'd have to call Lloyds of London. They'll accept bets on damned near anything.

It's strange, but I miss alpha22 just a little bit.
There was a great article in the last issue of Rolling Stone (not the current one) where Matt Taibbi went to a Fred Thompson event and just had his mind blown at the insufferable stupidity of both candidate and voter. Thompson essentially answered every question with a down-home country saying like "We need to learn to walk and talk at the same time" and shit like that, and the people there just ate it up.
The essence is that Fred Thompson thinks he's Ronald Reagan - actor-turned-Republican-presidential-candidate - but he lacks any kind of vision that Reagan had, so that he's just a stripped-bare moron hick without a platform other than "the guy who can beat Hillary" which is a load of shit anyway. The media's essentially gone ga-ga over a fucking retard with jowls and country mannerisms despite the fact that he's lived in New York City for years and years. Thompson supporters apparently have forgotten that the current president is also a retard with country mannerisms who lives in the North, and the last thing any of us want is for the new president to resemble in any way the old one. And aside from his acting gigs, Thompson is just Bush with 150-or-so more pounds of fat around his neck and even less political credibility.
I waved him off and explained that, as a member of the national campaign press, I was here to write about what I wanted him to say, not what he wanted himself to say. "Look," I said, holding up a bill. "I'm willing to pay twenty bucks to the first person who'll say whatever I want him to say about Fred Thompson."
About ten sets of hands flew up, including the kid in front of me. I held up the twenty.
"Name," I barked.
"Gary Blakeman," he said.
"Age," I said.
"Seventeen."
I wrote that down. "Gary, does Fred Thompson look like a pedophile to you?"
He looked at me pleadingly. "Yes, right?"
"Right," I said.
"Yes, he does," he answered.
"So what you're saying, Gary," I prompted, "is that you wouldn't be at all surprised to walk into a room and see this candidate's penis in a four year-old child?"
"Of course not!" the kid said. "Because he looks like a fucking pedophile, dude!"
"Mmm-hmm," I said. "And what kind of face would you expect him to be making at that moment?"
The kid grit his teeth and strained his neck muscles. "He'd be like, unnnnhh!" he shouted.
Rasmussen Reports combines nightly Presidential Tracking Poll results into full-week averages and support for Fred Thompson has declined in each of the past three weeks. He earned 28% for the week ending September 16 and then saw his numbers fall to 26% and 25% in subsequent weeks. Now, for the week ending October 7, his support is down to 22% and he trails Rudy Giuliani by a single percentage point. This marks the first time since Thompson formally entered the race that he has trailed Giuliani in a full week of polling by Rasmussen Reports.
Boring them to death in Iowa last week:
Twenty-four minutes after he began speaking in a small restaurant the other day, Fred Thompson brought his remarks to a close with a nod of his head and an expression of thanks to Iowans for allowing him to "give my thoughts about some things."
Then he stood face to a face with a silent audience.
"Can I have a round of applause?" Mr. Thompson said, drawing a rustle of clapping and some laughter.
