Reagan on Bush (Ron Reagan, that is)
Woe to you, hypocrites, Pharisees!
Gosh, which "politician" could he be talking about?
Jaws dropped a lot when Dean was running—because he said the emperor had no clothes. Same thing here, eh?
Mr. [Ron] Reagan was not quite so pointed on Friday night. "Dad was also a deeply, unabashedly religious man," he told mourners gathered at sunset at the Reagan presidential library. "But [President Reagan] never made the fatal mistake of so many politicians - wearing his faith on his sleeve to gain political advantage. True, after he was shot and nearly killed early in his presidency he came to believe that God had spared him in order that he might do good. But he accepted that as a responsibility, not a mandate. And there is a profound difference."
The remarks caused jaws to drop in California and Washington.
