W Made an Impression on Reagan
Uh-huh. Exactly.
“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.”
— Ronald Reagan, The Reagan Diaries, entry dated May 17, 1986
Thanks to Corinne!
Update six hours later:
But wait! This was just too accurate to be true. I’m holding my head down in chagrin for not Googling a likely phrase, but it seemed so… so… right.
It’s all right here on Snopes.
Thanks James.

So many things that are “nice to think” go into our inventory of daily “data,” don\’t they? It is hard to know what to question and what to accept as real.
