Please Mr. Postman 
Former San Francisco Mayor and California Assembly Speaker Willie Brown is telling tales again. His story is that the 90s term limits initiative might have been defeated in California, and he keep his Sacramento Speaker job, if voters had heard that former President Ronald Reagan opposed term limits.
Term limits entered the Republican cannon in the 90s after the successful demonetization of Brown. They offered a blunt weapon to defeat incumbent Democrats whose stubborn election victories defied the march of history, as GOPites read the tablets.
Inconveniently for today’s Republicans, the beloved Ronald Reagan opposed term limits.
Brown is peddling his autobiography, and tells a tale of a last minute political mailing that might have turned it all around. It would have featured Reagan’s opposition. But Brown was peddled this story in 2007 as well, and the story then featured the same denial by the Democrat’s mailing coordinator that the letter ever existed, and the same lack of any visible effort to check with the Reagan Library or Nancy Reagan.
Woulda Coulda Shoulda 
The tiresome whiners at Judicial Watch receive breathless coverage in the right wing blogosphere for their Hillary Clinton papers pursuit. But facts occasionally shed light on just how strained their effort is.
The National Archives is asking a judge to make Judicial Watch wait it’s turn. Freedom of Information Act requests to the Presidential Libraries are handled as they come in, first come first served. The Watchers are considerably back in the pack, and they are pigs.
Archives sneers:
“At an estimated three million pages, the size and scope of Judicial Watch’s present FOIA request makes it the largest FOIA request that the Clinton presidential library has received to date…Further, the request is greater than any FOIA request ever received to date at any of the presidential record act libraries.“

After another orgy of Republican candidate debate Reaganophilia, Paul Slansky is back once more with a loving look back at Ronald Reagan’s troubled relationship with fact.
The orgy itself came to new lows.
Shamelessness crossbred with cluelessness to produce such gems as John McCain‘s “It would be good to have Nancy Reagan back in the leadership role of the ‘Just Say No’ program”
And the Nanc herself threatened, “He’s back.”
