This man received a presidential pardon, was involved in Iran-Contra, was nicknamed Cap for his no holds barred approach to slash federal social spending, and created the largest peacetime military spending budget ever.
What is front page news today you may ask? MSNBC has decided that a sculpture of Brittney Spears being a pro-life model is.
"This will not be an easy task. We are fully embarked on it, we are not embarked on it to go half-way, we are embarked on it to win." - Caspar Weinberger
