Arlen Specter's interpretation is different than mine

This is Arlen Specter's favorite joke of Ronnie's, as reported by the LA Times:

Two psychiatrists came to work at the same time very day. Both were immaculately dressed. When they left in the afternoon at the same time, one psychiatrist was totally disheveled and the other continued to be immaculately dressed. Day after day, week after week, month after month of this happening. Finally, one day when they left, the disheveled psychiatrist said, "How is it that we come to the office the same time every day to see our patients, and day after day, week after week, month after month, you leave immaculately dressed and I am disheveled?" The immaculately dressed psychiatrist looked at his colleague and said, "who listens?"

Specter's interpretation: "This was President Reagan's way of saying he can take all of the tough spots of the presidency and still retain his composure and still retain his vigor and his freshness."

Jim's interpretation: "You can look great if you only pretend to do your job."

to the American people (some of whom voted for you) and pay no attention to how your policies are affecting them.
