ERRATUM: Ronald Reagan and George Bush

Well, I unwittingly spread a false rumor last week when I quoted Ronald Reagan calling the Little Bush a "n'er do well" and "shiftless." Turns out it came from a piece of satire and is not true. Much as I think Reagan SHOULD have thought those things, it isn't true and in retrospect would be out of character for Reagan (a genuinely nice guy even if a terrible President) to have written it down.

And thanks to the Anonymous reader who pointed this out last week.
