Reagan Junior Warns Bush:
'Stop Hijacking My Father's Reputation'

By Jenifer Johnston
The Sunday Herald

Sunday 26 September 2004

In an exclusive interview, the son of the Gipper brands the current Republican leader an opportunist and a cheat.

He's a hypocrite. He "plays farm" on his ranch. He cheated to get to the White House. He lied about Iraq, and used national grief from September 11 to his own advantage.

Those are the kind of criticisms the left has levelled at President Bush for months, but just 37 days before the election, those accusations are coming from Ron Reagan - the son of one of America's most revered Republican presidents.

In an exclusive interview, Reagan has spoken frankly to the Sunday Herald about his anger and deep resentment of the Bush administration for "hijacking" his father's legacy through the campaign.

Ronald Reagan, who was president between 1981 and 1989, died, aged 93, in June after a 10-year battle with Alzheimer's disease. George W Bush's father, George, served as Reagan's vice-president.
