Ron Reagan in Esquire
This boy can write:
UPDATE: Nancy Reagan Refuses to Campaign for Bush
. . . Maybe it was the smarmy memos tapped out by soft-fingered lawyers itching to justify [the Abu Ghraib] barbarism . . . I began to get calls from friends whose parents had always voted Republican, "but not this time." There was the staid Zbigniew Brzezinski on the staid NewsHour with Jim Lehrer sneering at the "Orwellian language" flowing out of the Pentagon. Word spread through the usual channels that old hands from the days of Bush the Elder were quietly (but not too quietly) appalled by his son's misadventure in Iraq . . .
UPDATE: Nancy Reagan Refuses to Campaign for Bush
The widow of former President, and Republican icon, Ronald Reagan has told the GOP she wants nothing to do with their upcoming national convention or the re-election campaign of President George W. Bush. Nancy Reagan turned down numerous invitations to appear at the Republican National Convention and has warned the Bush campaign she will not tolerate any use of her or her late husbands words or images in the President’s re-election effort. “Mrs. Reagan will not campaign for President Bush’s re-election and neither will most members of the President’s family,” says a source close to the former First Lady.Thanks to Micha for this link!
