Reagan on Bush II (tragic, but funny)
In case you haven’t read yet the Ronald Reagan diaries, the following
entry for May 17, 1986 includes the following:
“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 looks like easy work.”
