If so, I'll at least give 'em credit for that.

2. Ronnie didn't think much of Poppy
But it was Nancy who could barely stand the sight of the Bush clan.

3. Nancy Reagan, yeah. I'm not sure Bonzo had opinions that weren't scripted for him.

6. The Reagans (plural, not possessive) didn't care much for
either Babs or GHW, but evidently Nancy couldn't stand Babs.

8. I loved that fake diary entry supposedly written by Ronnie
about Poppy wanting Ronnie to find a job for "George's shiftless son."

9. You guys are forgetting that the feeling was mutual.
H W Bush thought that Reagan was stupid and I agree with his assessment. H W Bush lost the election to Clinton because he inherited Regan's economic disaster.

15. People don't necessarily forget as much as don't know. The history of that
bunch is full of sneaky business, treason, and spiteful grudges and snoobery.

What a crew, and some think of them as being our 'elite'.

16. Babs turned Nancy's lil' hair salon into a room for her dog Millie to birth puppies
I think that pretty much sum things up between those two ladies.

19. Brainy sons owe intelligence to their mothers
Known fact that men inherit their intelligence, and presumably their lack, from their mothers. If you want brainy sons don't marry an air head. Someone should have told Poppy that when he married Babs.

20. In Kitty Kelley's biography of Nancy Reagan
she related an event that happened one night when the Reagans were having dinner. Secret Servicemen arrived to tell the President that his Vice President George H.W. Bush had just been involved in a traffic accident and that he was drunk behind the wheel and that there was a woman in his car who was not his wife. Supposedly, Reagan got the incident covered up by the D.C. police. The Reagans supposedly made fun of Bush and had a good laugh at his expense.
