REAGAN DIARIES

"A moment I've been dreading. George brought his n'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 REAGAN DIARIES------entry dated May 17, 1986.

Above the photo from the REAGAN DIARIES is a quote that Reagan wrote about George 'W' in his diaries, recently edited by author Doug Brinkley and published by Harper Collins.


"Bush Confesses to Waterboarding. Call D.C. Cops!"

"Politicians tend to talk very, very big about supporting our men and women in uniform."

“If You Aren’t Outraged, You’re Not Paying Attention”

UPDATE: Seems like the above Reagan Diaries entry was never written by THE Ronald Reagan. I was a bit skeptical (consider the source) of the authenticity. Thank you for pointing that out.

Full Disclosure: I have not verified the accuracy of the "Reagan Diaries" quote I used in this post...
Just in case Reagan never said it, pretend I did.
