Reagan quote re: Bush (Satire folks, Ronnie didn't actually write this.)

[redwitch]

Historical Quote of the Day (AP)

"A moment I've been dreading. George (Bush Sr.) 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."

-- Ronald Reagan in his recently published diaries written May 17, 1986
