Phillips went on to viciously condemn the right wing's onetime standard-bearer. Reagan, he fumed, "is a very weak man with a strong wife and a strong staff. He has become a useful idiot for Soviet propaganda." Dole and other Republican Senators also lashed back: Dole chided the President in the White House, while...
