A friend just sent me this quote from Ronald Reagan

President Reagan referring to doing a favor for the first President Bush before Bush "Sr." was President himself.

"A moment I've been dreading. George brought his ne'er-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 should be easy work."

Ronald Reagan in his recently published diaries, May 17, 1986.

1. That has been going around for awhile and I think it's fake.

Funny though.

3. Get ready, Richard.

I love the "quote".

But it is just another Urban Legend and you will be hearing about it.

Still right on the money, though.

4. SORRY!

I should have checked. Still true though, even if the source isn't.
