Jellybeans Sub for M&Ms at White House





WASHINGTON - In honor of President Reagan, the Bush White House switched from M&Ms to jelly beans as the office candy staple for the week.


The San Francisco Bay-area maker of jelly beans started supplying Reagan to help him quit smoking during his first term as California governor, and jelly beans became a favorite at Reagan's White House Cabinet meetings.


Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist also has made the switch for this week.


A bowl of M&Ms has long been kept just outside the White House mess where staff and guests eat. Frist keeps dishes in his office reception area on Capitol Hill.

I'm glad we're getting second-by-second reports of all the Reagan tidbits and whatnot from the American media. I don't know what I'd *do* without these precious fixes of stupidity!

Do I give a SHIT what candy they serve at the WH in a lame attempt to attach themselves to this Reaganmania? A SHIT? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

On edit: this wasn't intended as a slam at the original poster, but to the idiot American media. Just for clarity.

And I STILL don't give a shit!
