Ronald Reagan (excuse me if he's one of your hero's) had a way with words.
But, as many people know, his "way" -- the pregnant pauses, the apparent

alzheimer's disease, Nancy was consulting the damn stars, and we don't
really know who the hell was at the helm.
Fast forward to 2011: did anyone notice Rick Perry's "Reagan Moment" ? ? ?
