So, I’m among many, many people who are of the opinion that Ronald Reagan was one of the most evil presidents this country has ever seen. More evil than Nixon, and Nixon was a fucking shithead. On that note, I present the following:

  Talking politics with White House Chief of Staff H.R. Haldeman at Camp David in August 1972, Nixon switched the conversation to two Republican governors, Reagan of California and Nelson Rockefeller of New York. Both men unsuccessfully sought the 1968 Republican presidential nomination that Nixon received.
  “Reagan is not one that wears well,” Nixon said.
  “I know,” Haldeman agreed.
  “On a personal basis, Rockefeller is a pretty nice guy,” Nixon said. “Reagan on a personal basis, is terrible. He just isn’t pleasant to be around.”
  “No, he isn’t,” Haldeman said.
  “Maybe he’s different with others,” Nixon said.
  “No,” Haldeman said.
  “No, he’s just an uncomfortable man to be around,” Nixon said. “Strange.”

Almost as though possessed by demons? Also I just love the image of Dick and H.R. sitting around being catty like a couple of hens. “Hmmmm, he’s not so nice is he?” “No, and have you met his wife? What a hag. Tsk.”

In other totally unrelated news, the kid from “A Christmas Story” sure does clean up nicely, no?
