Ronald Reagan, the Cake, and the Bible...

http://articles.latimes.com/1987-01-29/news/mn-2223_1_president-reagan

<snip>
TEHRAN — Iranian Parliament Speaker Hashemi Rafsanjani on Wednesday showed reporters the Bible he said was sent by President Reagan and said the U.S. leader is courageous but old, weak, in bad health and undercut by political rivals.

Rafsanjani displayed the leather-bound "Open Book Bible-Expanded Edition" at a news conference, holding it open to the title page bearing Reagan's name and a handwritten New Testament verse:

"And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, 'All the nations shall be blessed in you.' Galatians 3:8" (signed) Ronald Reagan, Oct. 3, 1986.

...with truck bombs and later blew up the United States armed forces barracks at Beirut airport with a truck bomb, nhelping speed the day when the profits from their arms-for-hostages deal could go to fighting Liberation Theology and socialism in Nick-R-Ahgyoowah.

Texan Acts for Impeachment

AP, March 6, 1987

WASHINGTON— Representative Henry B. Gonzalez, Democrat of Texas, who asked the House to impeach President Reagan after the Grenada invasion in 1983, today introduced new articles of impeachment against Mr. Reagan regarding the Iran arms affair. They were given virtually no chance of approval. The six articles accuse Mr. Reagan of misconduct in secretly selling arms to Iran, of allegedly diverting the arms sale payments to the Nicaraguan rebels and of failing to inform Congressional intelligence committees of his activities.

What is it about treason that is so forgetable?
