Hypocrisy, Thy Name is Reagan

Oh, and now Jerome Armstrong is a nut because he uses astrology? And yet, a certain dead president used it - and he’s the role model for the Republican masses. Go figure:
The pre-blogger activist life of ex-VA Gov. Mark Warner (D) advisor Jerome Armstrong continued to produce blogosphere fodder this weekend when Riehl World View uncovered Armstrong’s past penchant for astrology based forecasting. RWV explains that at its inception “MyDD didn’t have anything to do with democracy, direct, personal, or otherwise when it started out as an astrological tabloid, forecasting the ups and downs of the stock market based upon the stars.” RWV provides links to past Armstrong posts relating the rise of Osama Bin Laden to the “exploration of the Kuiper Belt in 1992,” and Pres. Bush’s “natal chart” to his post-9/11 “special calling.”
Unlike the pay-for-play and SEC accusations, Armstrong owns up to his astrological past but then both minimizes and and embraces his former hobby at MyDD: “Oh yea, on the astrological stuff. … Down that line, I dabbled with planets and predictions in the most abstract manner, as one of several different predictive mathematical disciplines … It has nothing to do with what I consult with in online political strategy. But hey, like JP Morgan once said, “millionaires don’t use astrology, billionaires do!”
Who’d ever have figured Jerome for a trans-Neptunian?
Ha, that’s funny. But wasn’t Nancy Reagan actually the one who consulted with an astrologer in the WH? Well, it’s a safe bet noa that Nance is probably persona non grata among right wing bloggers considering she supports stem cell research and the bloggers’ current idol-du-jour, GWB, doesn’t.
