...Like any president-elect, Ronald Reagan carries the baggage of pregnant campaign promises to office this January. Unlike others before him, however, "Ronnie" betrays a suspicious amount of faith in his grab-bag of rhetoric about economics--tax cuts, defederalization, and Laffer Curve explosions. Less government is the promiscuous rabbit he promises to produce from his cowboy hat to stimulate business. Let the private sector make us great again televisions and the late show for everyone...

...whole thing just may be viewed some day by calmer minds as the most distorted and peculiar political event yet invented in a system that had already run off the tracks. One good fellow compared the episode to an enlarged replay of Jimmy Carter and the killer rabbit-the rabbit being 6-ft., 1-in. Reagan with bushy hair and pink cheeks.

Why, he wonders, couldn't the President be more like his brother, a real, no-nonsense redneck? "The first Cracker President should have been a mixture of Jimmy and Billy," Blount reckons, "a cobbler of Billy's basic blackberries oozing up into and through Jimmy...

...bested Ted as once he beat the killer rabbit, down in the chigger latitudes. He smiles (force of habit) and meditates upon the Garden, like some mildly triumphant parson. Nearly four years pass behind his eyes: golden days, cardigan days, Billy Beer days; the abrupt surprise of Russian nastiness and the South Bronx ghettos. His reveries sweep to Jordan 's squirted Amarettos (a fancy drink for a good ole boy) and Vance and Lance, and jogger's tibia and all the money Billy made for being friends with Libya. But nothing can efface the joy of this renomination...
