      That's why when the went to put Reagan under when he was shot, he said to the surgical team, "I hope some of you are Republicans." At some point during the surgery, one of the doctors had to hold the President's beating heart in his hands and lift it out so they could get to a bullet. Imagine that. I once saw an interview w/the guy. The incredulity of the situation was not lost on him.
