An audit by the National Archives inspector general concluded that the library in Simi Valley was unable to properly account for more than 80,000 objects out of its collection of some 100,000 artifacts, the Los Angeles Times reported on its Web site Wednesday night.
I find this just amazing and I am deeply impressed at the kind of administrative incompetence that would be required to allow such breathtaking theft. But isn't the Ronald Reagan presidential library the perfect place for kleptomania, piss-poor record-keeping, and plain forgetfulness? I think that this embarrassment is a more fitting capstone to the Reagan legacy than any amount of treasure could have been.
