Come now; Reagan's already called them far worse!  An "evil empire", if
I recall.  In fact, in one of his first speeches as president, Reagan
said the Soviets would "tell any lie" or cheat or steal or whatever they
needed to do to have their way.

Reagan is an idiot; I think Mondale is a little smarter, but the way he's
run his campaign so far I wonder.  I'm tempted to write in Bill the Cat.  
I suppose Reagan will be reelected, but I doubt that he'll find his second
term nearly so satisfying as the first.  I just hope we live through it.
