 | | Kirkpatrick, former UN ambassador and a top nut on the Reagan tree, was especially fond of contrasting your decent, god-fearing "authoritarian" regimes - Pinochet's Chile, for example, or (in those heady, pre-Gulf War days) Saddam Hussein's Iraq - with the unmitigated evil of "totalitarian" regimes like China, Nicaragua and the Soviet Union. |
 | | We were reminded of those grand old days of yore last week when Kirkpatrick came out of her think-tank mothballs to heartily endorse the candidacy of every good liberal's favorite Republican, John McCain - war hero, political maverick, blunt iconoclast, Doonesbury fave, and waterboy for the telecommunications industry. |
 | | Kirkpatrick was herself most Reaganesque (the current, Alzheimer's-afflicted Reagan, alas) when she professed not to know the eldest son of her Administration colleague, then Vice President George Bush. |
