Excerpt from the Reagan Diaries

Post by RedGlitter »

Quote of the Day: Ronald Reagan on George W. Bush

"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."

~ From the just published REAGAN DIARIES. The entry is dated May 17, 1986.

That is so shabbily untrue!!

It originates from an article of 2nd July 2007 in the New Republic, "My Lunch With Reagan" by Michael Kinsley, and it's prefaced:I was more interested in the me angle, frankly. And it was a puzzle. What on earth could Reagan have written? I indulged my imagination, and my ego:followed by the fantasy you quoted as fact.
Nullius in verba ... ☎||||||||||| ... To Fate I sue, of other means bereft, the only refuge for the wretched left. ... Hold no regard for unsupported opinion.
When flower power came along I stood for Human Rights, marched around for peace and freedom, had some nooky every night - we took it serious. [Fred Wedlock, "The Folker"]
Who has a spare two minutes to play in this month's FG Trivia game! ... My other OS is Slackware.
Écrasez l'infâme! When you design tactics to maximise suffering on civilian populations and your only constraint is operational rather than moral, you've told the world who you are.
