Conservatives Celebrate Winning One for the Gipper

"Right-Wing Thought Police Have Declared Reagan, Like Dissent, Off-Limits," People for the American Way cried yesterday as conservatives did a victory dance over CBS's decision to yank its controversial miniseries about former first couple Ronald and Nancy Reagan.

Sen. Thomas Daschle (D-S.D.) said he was "appalled" by CBS's decision to scrap the miniseries after the Republican National Committee asked that it be allowed to alter the project or that CBS accompany the broadcast with a crawl declaring it a work of fiction.
