1. Wow you would never think one person could be so wrong

he did become an anti-war activist. So then there is that.

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.

2. "In recent years, he became an ardent anti-war activist."

Hmmmm....

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.

7. He was a good man

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