Reagan on George W. Bush

The Reagan Diaries

May 17, 1986

 

"A moment I've been dreading. George (Vice President George H.W.  Bush) 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 (future Gov. Jeb Bush). 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."
