(I think this is a joke - but if it is not...wow...)

Direct quote from the just published REAGAN DIARIES.
The entry is dated May 17, 1986.

'A moment I've been dreading. George brought his ne're-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.

I've never been much of a Ronnie fan, Presidents who conveniently forget about selling weapons to enemies tend to crank me up, but this gives me new-found appreciation for his ability to judge people

If you "think" its a joke then you didnt read the link well enough.. It says very clearly..

Did Reagan call G.W. Bush a ne’er-do-well?
Status: False

I'm trying to connect the "humor" in this, with the fact that the website is asking people to donate for "Global Research".

Boy, if there was ever a trolling thread that was meant to inflame this is it! Has anyone bothered to click on the link? It takes you to a page that says that this is FALSE!

Before I clicked on it I went to my copy of the Reagan Diaries and looked at May 17, 1986. There is NO ENTRY for that day at all. I then clicked on the link provided in the OP and this is what it says, "Did Reagan really write this? Nope, he didn't."


Research, people! It's not that hard to confirm something.
