was this Reagan quote posted already?
Ronald Reagan on Dubya

"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."

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

1. This was debunked on Snopes.
It's a fake.

2. Yes. Sadly, it's fake. Some of us have a copy of that book, and no such quote is in it. nm

6. "Telling her" could slip your mind, since you're so busy and all.
