Just saw this on NoQuarter.com, and had to send it to all my friends:
Someone’s comments posted on 9-14-07 on Dan Froomkin’s Washington Post website about George Sr. asking Ronald Reagan to help find his son, George Jr., some work over twenty years ago:
“”Historical Quote of the Day
“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.”
– Ronald Reagan in his recently published diaries, May 17, 1986.”"

They're completely consistent with the job Bush has done as President.

Oh, well. It's just a bit of a dent in all the fraudulent emails bashing Hillary. I get some every day from my alleged friends.

Yes indeed - I get bombarded with those bogus right winger emails daily as well. Turnabout is fair play I always say - a dose of their own medicine (maybe it should be chinese medicine too!) At first I would refute every one of them, but it grew tiresome - now I just hit the delete key Bummer too - I was starting to have some new found respect for Reagan I do understand he does have some not so flattering things to say about some of the current crop in charge though
