What the heck are you talking about, Ron?

It's completely clear that Rig thoroughly disagrees with both Reagan's philosophy and Sarah Palin's philosophy. He was making a joke, but it seems to have gone right by you. He detests Reaganism, and he suspects that Palin is someone who would undertake something quite similar to Reaganism as soon as she got the chance to.

He is speaking tongue in cheek when he says, "She sounds like my kind of girl." He's being satirical.
