This column is mostly self-plagiarism. Ten years ago, on the occasion of Ronald Reagan's 90th birthday, I tried to make a sober and compact case against the notion that he was a great, or even a very successful, president. Apparently I was not effective. On the 100th anniversary of his birth (and seven years after his death), he has moved into Mount Rushmore territory: beyond criticism "” not just among conservatives and Republicans but among liberals and moderates, who insist that "you have to hand it to him," and, most notably, among the media.Â
