[A friend sent this along. Ed Kent]
This is a direct quote from the just published REAGAN DIARIES. The entry is dated May 17, 1986.
‘A moment I’ve been dreading. George brought his ne’re-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 alreadyalmost 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.’

As a general rule, if a quote is too good to be true, it most likely isn’t. 😉
