In making a case against Sarah Palin for Newsweek?s latest cover story, Evan Thomas offers the following surprise:

The two greatest postwar presidents understood this. Dwight Eisenhower governed in the 1950s by deftly uniting center and right, and Ronald Reagan did the same in the 1980s.

Did a copy editor mistakenly slice ?Republican? out from between ?postwar? and ?presidents?? If not, Thomas must be conceding that Kennedy, Johnson, Carter, and Clinton all paled in comparison to Ike and Reagan. Interesting.
