Poindexter, North and the Congressional Committee
North for President! But why stop there? Albert Hakim for secretary of defense, and Gen. Richard Secord for secretary of the treasury! Adolfo “Kill their doctors and teachers first and their hearts and minds will follow . . .” Calero for secretary of health, education and welfare. And, while we’re at it, Edwin Meese for attorney general!
Back in ’84 when we all chanted “Four More Years!” we may have been talking about Ronald Reagan, but we might as well have been addressing George Orwell.
