Unfortunately Jonah, Teddy has benefitted from a CAT for too many years — the family consiglieres, the prepared scripts from Ralph Neas et al., and all those eager upwardly mobile lefty types like Greg Craig who staffed his senatorial offices. He would not have survived this long without this vast support apparatus.
Without them he would have long since returned to the pool from which he emerged.
I can think of few conservatives who have had this sort of vast support apparatus (rather like the latest Verizon Wireless ads showing the enormous resources of VerizonW vs. “the other guy” with his few supporting resources).
I remember when Reagan was often criticized as being the product of the work of his staff — never was Reagan the product of the support staff as much as Teddy the K.
I’ve read some of those collections of Reagan’s writings — he knew how to write, how to edit, how to comport himself.
Teddy needs all the help he can get — his natural instincts are base and low and rather despicable and have to be concealed from his adoring public.
