My father crapped bigger ones than George Bush - Great interview w/ Ron Jr
http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2003/04/14/ron_reagan/index_np.html

April 14, 2003 | The Bush inner circle would like to think of George W.'s presidency as more of an extension of Ronald Reagan's than of his one-term father's. Reagan himself, who has long suffered from Alzheimer's disease, is unable to comment on those who lay claim to his political legacy. But his son, Ron Jr., is -- and he's not pleased with the association.

"The Bush people have no right to speak for my father, particularly because of the position he's in now," he said during a recent interview with Salon. "Yes, some of the current policies are an extension of the '80s. But the overall thrust of this administration is not my father's -- these people are overly reaching, overly aggressive, overly secretive, and just plain corrupt. I don't trust these people."

1. As much
as I despise his father's policies, Reagan atleast raised his children better than George HW Bush.

After all, didn't two of them turn out to be liberals? (I think I heard one of his daughter was also a liberal)...

Have you heard him speak?

He is like a cross between Dan Quayle and W.
The anti-intellectuals love him!
