[PEN-L] reagan on w

[Dan Scanlan]

Perhaps Reagan was more astute than most of us thought. "A moment I've been dreading. George brought his ne'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 edi tor or something. That looks like easy work."
