[net.politics] Reagan's zinger

aeq@pucc-h (Jeff Sargent) (08/24/84)

Ronald Reagan, in his acceptance speech, came out with a REAL zinger.
Referring to the Democrats, he said:

"We could say they spend like drunken sailors -- but that would be unfair to
 drunken sailors..."

and after the guffawing died down, he added:

"...because the sailors are spending their own money."

BTW, has anyone ever noticed that Ronald Reagan has the prime characteristic
of an AI project, i.e. the matching initials?

If the Democrats are worse than drunken sailors because they spend
your money, are the Republicans any better for spending your
children's money?

Or, as George Will has put it, "What IS the moral distinction between
TAX and Spend and BORROW and Spend?"

Wait a minute, his middle name starts with a "W", not an "L". rwr != rlr. :-)

Heavy on the "A" part, I guess. :-)

   If Reagan is the answer it must have been a VERY silly question.
