Quote from the Reagan Diaries

[gray_ghost]

From an entry dated May 17, 1986:

"A moment I've been dreading.  George brought his ne're-do-well son around this morning and asked me to find the kid a job.  Not the political one who lives in Florida.  The one who hangs around here all the time looking shiftless.  This so-called kid is already almost 40 and has never had a real job.  Maybe I'll call Kinsley over at The New Republic and see if they'll hire him as a contributing editor or something.  That looks like easy work."

Unfortunately someone who actually has a copy of the diaries emailed me to say it's a fake - and Reagan actually posted something about his dog on that date =(=(

It makes a glorious urban legend though!

actually it would make Regan somewhat human and cool
so, i guess , i will continue to think of him as demented card-board cut-out
that he was
