Partisan Shots at the Reagan Memorial

While not as obvious as at the Wellstone memorial, the Reagan eulogists also used the national stage to advance a political agenda. The first speaker mentioned inflation without mentioning the deficit. Dennis Hastert said "against the advice of the timid." And Dick Cheney spoke of "the shining city on the hill" without mentioning our hypocrisy and oppression in the third world. They got in their partisan shots, they were just better disguised.
