Is she a right wing personality? Not remembering much about Nicaragua is a serious career booster in those quarters. They should have had Oliver North on the show. No one doesn't remember more about Nicaragua than him.

...no one is going to get this one.

Most of us aren't 60 years old or are going to remember every detail of every major GOP scandal. The short version, Ollie North took the fall for Reagan's Iran-Contra weapons sales, is sufficient without knowing that the Contras were Nicaraguan.

Ollie North took the fall

I'd hardly call that a fall.

Sorry, best I can remember is Peter North.
