Earlier today I had the honor of attending the dedication ceremony for President Reagan’s new statue in the U.S. Capitol.

The event was attended by a lot of big-name political and media figures, including Nancy Reagan, Henry Kissinger, Ed Meese, Jim Baker, Senate Leaders Harry Reid and Mitch McConnell, Speaker Pelosi, House GOP Leader John Boehner, and even former Reagan nemeses Sam Donaldson and Chris Matthews.
