3. It was remarkable to see how he became effectively marginalized |
|
when he decided he hated this neocon horseshit. He went from respected sage to past-his-prime loon amongst Republicans in no time flat.

4. The article mentions him being an economist |
|
but he was not an economist, he was a journalist. Paul Krugman wrote in his book that Reagans economic polisicies were made by journalists, including Wanniski.

5. What's the status of his buddy Mr. Laffer? |
|
Is he still around, or has he gone to the big optimization in the sky?
Supply-side and the Laffer Curve were the cornerstones of Reagan's Voodoo economics.

And he voted for Kerry the last time. If the Democrats would follow his advice, they'd never lose an election.
