How come the rest of America isn't as smart as...Reagan?

Yesterday, my psychic, who is known for her prescient sensitivities, emailed me a li'l snippet from the diaries of Ronald Reagan, who is maybe not so known for HIS prescient sensitivities. And yet, he certainly seemed to be onto something...



From The Reagan Diaries, edited by Doug Brinkley, forthcoming from Harper Collins (including photo):



"A moment I've been dreading. George brought his n'er-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."

Seriously, folks-- how did the American masses miss what Reagan knew in frickin' '86? Oof. I continue in my bafflement.
