Hope you all enjoy THIS one---especially the 'Bushies'---as if we didn't all know?
This is an actual quote that Reagan wrote about George 'W' in his diaries, recently edited by author Doug Brinkley and published by Harper Collins
'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.

That says it all...especially from the GOP GOD Reagan

Our Truth Summary.
We are surprised Janice would be taken in by this but someone who professes to read watch or listen to at least 5 hours of political commentaries a day, should not only know better than to agree without looking it up. But to post the true link…. But what the hell we’re talking of AcuLiar the liberal wannabee prickster so what can you expect?
The Truth Say’s,
Direct quote from the just published REAGAN DIARIES.
The entry is dated May 17, 1986.
'A moment I've been dreading. George brought his ne're-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.'
The above statement, while reflecting a certain element of truth, is false. It did not appear in the "Reagan Diaries".
See Below.
Did Reagan call G.W. Bush a ne’er-do-well?

This paragraph supposedly written by Ronald Reagan is currently circulating widely around 'A moment I've been dreading. George brought his ne're-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.'
Did Reagan really write this? Nope, he didn't. The quotation is pulled from an article titled "My Lunch with Reagan" by Michael Kinsley in the New Republic (vol. 237, issue 1, 7/2/07). And, not surprisingly, the quotation is taken out of context.
